I investigated further and the reason for the failure is the missing directory "/usr/portage/net-www/apache/files/2.0.42". I made a copy of 2.0.40 under the files directory and called it 2.0.42 and re-ran the emerge and the compilation process continued further. Could someone create the missing /usr/portage/net-www/apache/files/2.0.42 directory?
better yet, Nick, can you move the patches out to a tarball on the mirrors instead of in FILESDIR?
i fixed this already.
