!!! Rsync has not successfully finished. It is recommended that you keep
!!! trying or that you use the 'emerge-webrsync' option if you are unable
!!! to use rsync due to firewall or other restrictions. This should be a
!!! temporary problem unless complications exist with your network
!!! (and possibly your system's filesystem) configuration.

what mirror was used here?  (we need the exact name or IP address -- not just 'rsync.gentoo.org' which is a rotation of some 25 servers)

[Comment 2 Marcus J. van Dijk, Jr. 2004-01-10 08:24:42 UTC]

rsync1.it.gentoo.org
sole.infis.univ.trieste.it (140.105.134.1)

This server I often get (using europe rsync servers)

[Comment 3 Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) 2004-01-10 08:53:16 UTC]

Andrea -- could you take a look at this?

[Comment 4 Andrea Barisani (RETIRED) 2004-01-10 17:00:39 UTC]

I've synced with my server with no problems, it seems to me that the error was client side. Could you try deleting the dirs referred in the error and see if they are correctly recreated?  Maybe it's a filesystem problem on your side.  If you get the error again could you please tell me your IP address so that I can check the logs?

The error is not solved. My IP is 80.126.113.115.

I've checked the logs and there isn't any server side error.
Please try deleting the entire dev-php, perform a filesystem check and then
resync with the mirror.

Also it might be helpful trying another mirror to confirm that this is not a server
problem if that is the case.

Thanks

My bad, it seems there is an error in that dir
ls: /usr/portage/dev-php/PEAR-HTML_Javascript: Invalid argument

Thanks for the help anyway, I'll close this bug now.
