Bug 200369 – emerge sysklogd can't download sysklogd-1.4.1.tar.gz

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description adrian r. 2007-11-26 06:10:34 UTC]

i'm new with gentoo, i'm still trying to install it, but when i try to "emerge sysklogd" it looks for sysklogd-1.4.1.tar.gz in 2 diferent servers with no success

it looks for it at...
http://gentoo.arcticnetwork.ca/distfiles/sysklogd-1.4.1.tar.gz
and when it fails looks at
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/daemons/sysklogd-1.4.1.tar.gz

is metalab.unc.edu the same that ibiblo.org? if so, then there doesn't exist the needed version, there is 
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/sysklogd-1.5.tar.gz

and in the case of the first server (http://gentoo.arcticnetwork.ca)
the problem is that it is looking for the files at
http://gentoo.arcticnetwork.ca/distfiles/
when it should looks at 
http://gentoo.arcticnetwork.ca/source/distfiles/

Related with BUG "emerge syslog-ng  can't download libol-0.3.18.tar.gz  is looking in the rigth server on the wrong folder"

let me know when it is fixed, so i can finish my first gentoo installation

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. follow Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (2007.0)
2. at section 9.a. System Logger
3. emerge sysklogd

AS noted on the other bug, you have GENTOO_MIRRORS set incorrectly in make.conf. Not to mention that you should emerge --sync, 1.4.2_pre20061230-r2 is current stable version.

# emerge -f =app-admin/sysklogd-1.4.1-r11
Calculating dependencies... done!
