https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-plugins/live lists two different versions as being available for install, but I think that both of these would fail to emerge since neither is available upstream.  Both of those older versions should probably be replaced with 2021.12.18.

The workaround is to mask =media-plugins/live-2021.08.24 , but for users who do not have any older version installed I don't think there is any workaround at the moment.

live.2021.08.24.tar.gz is available on gentoo mirrors.

Please fix your GENTOO_MIRRORS setting.
