Description Karl-Robert Ernst 2010-10-21 15:55:09 UTC
Unfortunately I can't say for sure which version of portage broke it, but I remember that some of the portage-2.2_rc8x still worked. After downgrading to that, emerge --sync worked again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Error message:
!!! getaddrinfo failed for '[fe80': [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution
rsync: failed to connect to fe80::2%eth1: Network is unreachable (101)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=3.0.7]
!!! Exhausted addresses for [fe80
>>> Starting rsync with rsync://[fe80::2%eth1]/gentoo-portage...
>>> Checking server timestamp ...
>>> Retrying...



make.conf contains as sync address:
SYNC="rsync://[fe80::2%eth1]/gentoo-portage"

Disregard that, the issue somehow fixed itself and its working now. Sorry to have bothered you.
