When I run "/usr/sbin/mirrorselect -D -s5 -o" to find the fastest gentoo mirrors available to me, the string it returns contains multiple copies of the same mirror. The list is not always the same, but each time it contains at least one duplicate entry. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/sbin/mirrorselect -D -s5 -o Actual Results: * Downloading a list of mirrors... Got 194 mirrors. * Stripping hosts that only support ipv6... Removed 8 of 194 * Downloading 100k files from each mirror...
