Description gilad.arnold 2015-07-24 18:40:50 UTC

Emerge system fails to install sys-apps/man-pages-4.01, which is part of the default profile. Two of the download URLs (distfiles.gentoo.org and man7.org) fail with 404 (Not Found). The other two (both www.kernel.org) redirect (301 Moved Permanently) to an HTTPS URL, which wget cannot fetch ("HTTPS support not compiled in"). Possible solutions:

1) Fix the URLs in the ebuild to ensure there's a working HTTP one.
2) Emerge wget with HTTPS support.
3) Remove sys-apps/man-pages from the profile or use a different profile for Prefix bootstrap.

In my case, I manually removed man-pages from the default profile in Prefix and it worked fine.

Reproducible: Always
