Hi! It appears that the URL variable for the file downloaders (prozilla lukeftp etc) has been changed from ${x} to ${URI}. However, this change is not updated in the optional FETCHCOMMAND 's found in the installed make.conf file. This is in reference to portage-1.8.9_pre15 see this thread http://lists.gentoo.org/mailman/private/gentoo-core/2002-February/000042.html
fixed. thanks.
