The ftp download links for doxygen have been broken for a while, even from the doxygen site itself. The http version of the links work fine. The following diff fixes the problem: < SRC_URI="ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/${P}.src.tar.gz --- > SRC_URI="http://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/${P}.src.tar.gz Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. remove any cached doxygen source tarballs from your portage distfiles directory 2. emerge -f doxygen Actual Results: source download fails Expected Results: successful emerge
it was a firewall issue on my end. sorry.
