When I am trying to run genkernel it fails with error:

# genkernel all
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.45
* Running with options: all

* Using genkernel.conf from /etc/genkernel.conf
* Sourcing arch-specific config.sh from /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86_64/config.sh ..
* Sourcing arch-specific modules_load from /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86_64/modules_load ..

Could not find source tarball /var/cache/genkernel/src/busybox-1.20.1.tar.bz2. Please refetch.

There is mentioned version "1.20.2 " in the ebuild, but somehow it requires "1.20.1".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge genkernel
2.genkernel all

You probably have leftovers from the old config-format, and did not do a properly update of the configuration file.

Please update /etc/genkernel.conf accordingly to the message printed in it:

# NOTE: Since genkernel 3.4.41 the version of
#   busybox, lvm, mdadm, .. have been moved to
#   /usr/share/genkernel/defaults/software.sh in order to
#   reduce the merging you have to do during etc-update.
#   You can still override these settings in here.


And thus, those versions and alike should _only_ be mentioned in genkernel.conf now days if you want to override the defaults.

Oh, thanks. This is it.
Solved.
