[Comment 1 Stephen McCants 2004-06-18 15:07:24 UTC]

Potential workaround for people who run into this bug:

1. emerge libungif
*this fails*
2. cd /usr/protage/distfiles
3. tar -jxvf libungif-<version>.tar.bz2
*Where <version> is the version of libungif downloaded*
4. cd libungif-<version>
5. ./configure
6. make
7. make install
*this installs libungif*
8. emerge inject media-libs/libungif-<version>
*this fools Portage into thinking the package was install via Portage/emerge.

Resync and try it again please.  It works fine for me.
Reopen if it continues to be a problem.
