Upstream replaced the 20130805 snapshot with a more recent one (20130821). The old one is no longer available - neither from upstream nor the mirrors thus the download / emerge fails. Reproducible: Always
Luckily, Gentoo has an excellent mirroring system: cvs/gentoo-x86/net-print/foomatic-db $ ebuild foomatic-db-4.0.20130805.ebuild fetch Appending /newaches/gentoo/cvs/gentoo-x86 to PORTDIR_OVERLAY... >>> Downloading 'http://www.openprinting.org/download/foomatic/foomatic-db-4.0-20130805.tar.gz' --2013-08-21 15:54:20-- http://www.openprinting.org/download/foomatic/foomatic-db-4.0-20130805.tar.gz Resolving www.openprinting.org (www.openprinting.org)... 140.211.169.16 Connecting to www.openprinting.org (www.openprinting.org)|140.211.169.16|:80... connected.

These are daily builds and get replaced every day. As jer pointed out, this is covered by the gentoo mirror system. But to avoid futher problems, I'll add the specific version to my devspace and to SRC_URI, when I do the next version bump. ChangeLog: 2013-06-05 Seiko Epson Corporation <linux-printer@epson.jp>
