please rsync and try again
This looks like he's having a problem *unmerging* a package that's *already* installed. I don't think this is a mirror issue...
the ebuild's fine in cvs and on my private mirror.
weird... try this: $ cp /usr/portage/app-accessibility/speechd/speechd-0.56.ebuild /var/db/pkg/app-accessibility/speechd-0.56/speechd-0.56.ebuild $ emerge clean
This bug affects more than just speechd. I'm having the same problem with quite a few ebuilds. Bug# 48545 describes my problem a little better.
