Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge shoutcast-trans-bin 2. go to http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc_trans_posix_040.tgz Actual Results: localhost content # emerge shoutcast-trans-bin Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Verifying ebuild manifests >>> Emerging (1 of 1) media-sound/shoutcast-trans-bin-0.4.0-r1 !!! media-sound/shoutcast-trans-bin-0.4.0-r1 has fetch restriction turned on. !!!

The source files for shoutcast-trans-bin are not in the repository and have to be downloaded and placed into /usr/portage/distfiles. Try; # wget http://yp.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc_trans_posix_040.tgz # mv sc_trans_posix_040.tgz /usr/portage/distfiles # emerge shoutcast-trans-bin More info here http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Shoutcast#Downloading_Shoutcast
That worked. So, the problem was the URL: valid: http://yp.shout... invalid: http://www.shout... Thank you.
The message is now, * Download sc_trans_posix_040.tgz from http://www.shoutcast.com/. * Last known working location is http://yp.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc_trans_posix_040.tgz.
