emerge samba fails because it cannot find samba-2.2.3a.tar.gz. Looking on the distribution site, I see an updated version. Thanks, gentoo rocks, murray smigel
`emerge rsync ; emerge portage -u ; emerge rsync ; emerge samba` see if that fixes your problem
murray, well?
he was talking to me via e-mail ... below is the data extracted from his last one ... it looks like he is just running an old version of portage ... but i wont punt this bug till i can verify > see if that fixes your problem > ** rsync is failing: rsync: failed to connect to cvs.gentoo.org: Connection refused rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c (89) Hmm, I can emerge some packages, so things are not totally hosed.
emerge rsync was failing. As suggested, I changed the entry in /etc/make.conf for SYNC=. Now rsync works and emerge samba does as well. Thanks for the help, murray smigel
