It seems the upstream tarball was moved or deleted, so the url in SRC_URI isn't valid anymore. The url was: https://github.com/vim/vim/archive/v7-4-769.tar.gz -> vim-7.4.769.tar.gz I haven't checked for 7.4.827, but it will be likely the same...
7.4.827 is a bad url as well. i looked through git hub, there are tags for 7.0xxx the latest being 10 years old. either they stopped tagging or it was lost in the move from google code. i have machines that have 7.4.769 retrieved august 27th. i'm not seeing an archive directory for tar.gz on github

Found the problem: there are no longer hyphens in the tar.gz files. Workaround: 1) Edit /usr/portage/app-editors/vim/vim-7.4.769.ebuild 2) Replace all instances of "MY_PV" with "PV" 3) repoman --digest=y manifest 4) Manually download the sources via wget or curl 5) Update the SHA256, SHA512, WHIRLPOOL checksums in /usr/portage/app-editors/vim/Manifest 6) emerge --ask app-editors/vim And it works.
Fixed in the tree.
(In reply to Tim Harder from comment #4) > Fixed in the tree. Hi Tim, the issue is not fixed for vim-core-7.4.769, there is still the MY_PV variant with the dashes instead of the dots.
