Comment 1 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2017-01-08 20:18:57 UTC 
You have an invalid GENTOO_MIRRORS setting.
Comment 2 Dave Kennedy 2017-01-08 20:38:10 UTC 
Shoot, that may explain my previous bug report as well (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603280).

How should I have detected this? Other than random unexplained errors?
Comment 3 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2017-01-08 21:27:20 UTC 
It's fairly common for a package to disappear from upstream mirrors, but it should always still be fetchable from gentoo mirrors (if it was able to be mirrored at all).  The fact that it tries a gentoo mirrors & throws a 404, is a very strong indicator that your GENTOO_MIRRORS setting is wrong.  I navigated to the base dir of your mirror http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/ and it's a 404, so this server doesn't appear to host gentoo files anymore.

But I don't really know of a way to immediately & definitively detected when a GENTOO_MIRRORS server name is bad.
