seems that either the format of repositories.xml on api.gentoo.org has changed or something is different about REXML/* from the latest ruby:1.9

[Comment 1 David Leverton 2013-08-08 19:01:54 UTC]

The repositories.xml file was moved and Ruby's Net::HTTP doesn't follow the redirect, so the error is a result of trying to parse the Apache response body as XML.  Fixed in git at http://git.exherbo.org/paludis/paludis.git/commit/?id=5dcbfdc11cd87a7ffe41e736f782955e0b9eb947 - possibly worth a patch + revbump as I don't think we're planning on doing a release soon.

This should be in 1.4.2. Please reopen if the issue persists.
