My emerge sync won't work! I don't have any clue what the problem is. Internet connection is fine, as evidenced by pinging google.com (so DNS works) and retrieving mail. Tried it with both rsync.eur and rsync.nl. I have rsync 2.6.3 installed.

root@supaari manuzhai # emerge sync
Notice: (-2, 'Name or service not known')

This is a temporary failure in name resolution - your DNS could be down, or a number of other things could have happened. Reopen if the problem still occurs in 24 hours.

Still doesn't work. Besides, this problem had been occurring several days before I reported it. So I think DNS errors are not the problem.

Comment 3 Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. 2005-01-13 11:42:54 UTC

1. Can you ping rsync.nl.gentoo.org?
1a. Are you sure you are using an l and not a 1, I, or |?
2. Can you ping/sync to rsync.gentoo.org?
3. Can you rsync at all?  Perhaps some firewall is blocking rsync traffic?

Bug is gone, I fixed the problem. It was a really weird problem though.

I think I fucked up resolv.conf by adding in an extra nameserver.
