Description anonymous 2019-04-29 08:40:08 UTC 
During a system upgrade, installing virtualbox-extpack-oracle-5.2.26 and virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.26 failed due to certificate error.

I fixed the certificate error by adding the following lines to /etc/portage/make.conf

FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget --no-check-certificate -O \${DISTDIR}/\${FILE} \${URI}"
RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -c --no-check-certificate -O \${DISTDIR}/\${FILE} \${URI}"

I tried installing them again, and I got the following error

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden
2019-04-29 17:27:58 ERROR 403: Forbidden.

It seems download URIs changed.

Please be more specific. From which URI does the download fail?
Comment 2 Mans Rullgard 2019-04-29 11:10:15 UTC 
Downloads from https://download.virtualbox.org/ fail due to the certificate presented by the server being valid only for download.oracle.com. The download for Virtualbox itself succeeds from Gentoo mirrors.

Replacing the domain in SRC_URI with download.oracle.com makes things work.
Comment 3 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-04-29 11:20:27 UTC 
Just as I suspected. Upstream is aware of the issue and is working on it. We will not change the primary SRC_URI because this is merely a temporary issue.
