while trying to emerge debianutils, the ebuild fails after trying many mirrors with >>> Downloading 'http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debianutils/debianutils_4.11.1.tar.xz' --2020-10-10 15:35:09-- http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debianutils/debianutils_4.11.1.tar.xz Resolving ftp.br.debian.org... 200.236.31.3, 2801:82:80ff:8000::4 Connecting to ftp.br.debian.org|200.236.31.3|:80... connected.

So what do you want us to do here? Closing as INVALID: File is mirrored on Gentoo mirrors. That's why we have our mirror system. It doesn't matter if a mirrored file was removed upstream in this case.
I suspect the reporter has a bad value configured in GENTOO_MIRRORS, intentionally or not.
Thank you for responding- I didn't think i have incorrect GENTOO_MIRRORS set, but its been a long time since i did anything with them... (frankly don't even remember ever setting them) dylan@BigBox ~ $ grep GENTOO_MIRRORS /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" dylan@BigBox ~ $ dylan@BigBox / $ grep GENTOO_MIRRORS /etc/portage/make.conf #GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.fslutd.org/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirror.fslutd.org/linux/distributions/gentoo/" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/gentoo/ http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo/" dylan@BigBox / $ I found the GENTOO_MIRRORS wiki page and 'fixed' my mirrors.. dylan@BigBox / $ grep GENTOO_MIRRORS /etc/portage/make.conf #GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.fslutd.org/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirror.fslutd.org/linux/distributions/gentoo/" GENTOO_MIRRORS="https://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ https://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/ http://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/ ftp://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/ rsync://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/ http://gentoo.cs.utah.edu/" dylan@BigBox / $ Now working without a problem. Thank you, Mike Gilbert, for the pointer to GENTOO_MIRRORS
I recommend to use `portageq envvar GENTOO_MIRRORS` next time. Grep results can be misleading when there is just one file killing the assignment. Glad you sorted the problem!
