When I try to emerge net-www/opera-7.50_alpha1, I get "Resolving snapshots.opera.com... failed: Host not found.". I looked into the ebuild and found 3 problems: - FTP does not work on that server, use HTTP instead. - Host is spelled wrong. (snapshots instead of snapshot) - last dir /en is not there So the right line in the ebuild file should be: SRC_URI="http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/7.50-Preview-1/intel-linux/en/${PN}-${OPERAVER}.${OPERATYPE}.i386-en.tar.bz2" Now it works :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge /usr/portage/net-www/opera/opera-7.50_alpha1.ebuild Actual Results: Resolving snapshots.opera.com... failed: Host not found.
