Bug 34823 – while updating world (emerge -u), emerge hangs because it can't find net-utils-1.32-pkg.tar.gz on servers.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Hans Fangohr 2003-12-01 06:21:08 UTC]

Here is the output of emerge -U:

paya distfiles # emerge -U world

I have checked whether I can download this file manually and copy it into the
distfiles directory. It turns out that only the newer version
net-utils-1.33-pkg.tar.gz is available.

Probable the ebuild has to be updated?


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge -u net-utils

Actual Results:  
paya distfiles # emerge -U net-utils

This bug prevents you from updating 'world'.

Just verified that the same command runs okay on other machines. Closer inspection revealed that in /etc/make.conf specific GENTOO_MIRRORS had been given. I conclude that none of these provided the file. As soon I had removed this line, the 'emerge -u net-utils' works fine. Sorry for spamming bugzilla. This bug report was no bug but stupidity on the admin side.
