Build log

I'm trying to =emerge media-libs/smpeg2-2.0.0-r3 as a dependency of app-office/impressive.

The URL for the source tarball resolves to https://dev.gentoo.org/~hasufell/distfiles/smpeg-2.0.0.tar.bz2 but this results in a 404 no found. Typing that into my web browser also fails.

I think you need to choose a new mirror.

If in doubt, just unset GENTOO_MIRRORS altogether, it'll use the default rotation which I find pretty reliable.

Broken original links is typically not something that get fixed until (at most) some other changes given the mirrors are serving their purpose.

Yes, that was exactly the problem. Thank you!
