I want to test Plank dock and emerge -av plank::elementary gives me this list:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

But bamf can not be downloaded, because of distfiles.gentoo.org resolving error.

I downloaded via firefox and cp to distfiles. But still...

Why would distfiles mirror sources from overlays?

[Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2014-12-18 21:28:44 UTC]

You can't seem to resolve distfiles.gentoo.org or launchpad.net. Your problem is obviously local.

My problem was wget after it has been linked with USE="static". All done now.
