If you want help, you need to provide more information about your setup.
- Where is your portage tree?
- When did you last "emerge --sync" ?
- When did you last "emerge --update @world" ?

As someone else said, it looks like your tree is nearly two years out  
of date.  That could be why it can't find inetutils.  If that is the  
case, you really need to bring your system up to date before worrying  
about installing any new packages.  There have been other threads about  
updating a system out of date by more than six months.  It is possible,  
but potentially difficult.  It may also be helpful, if not necessary,  
to delete some packages and then reinstall them once the system is  
fully updated.

Would that make the package not emerge?   I can't imagine a more

The package must have worked once.  Is it possible and practical 
to get an earlier, working version out of git?





I'm currently using the ftp in /net-ftp/ftp-0.17.34.0.2.5.1/ and 
it's broken - it doesn't send the last block.


Other FTPs listed in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/FTP have 
different command syntax, which breaks my expect(1) script.





The inetutils on nixos runs fine.  I wonder why gentoo can't get it 
working ...


I assume you're trying to build inetutils with the ftp use flag set? 
net-ftp/ftp blocks inetutils in that case, you need to remove 
net-ftp/ftp first.




Can you give some more information about that?  E.g. how one package 
can block another one?

It looks like you're portage tree is out of date ... rather very out of 
date. The package was first added in September of 2023. So you'll have 
to sync up and probably have lots of other updates to handle as well.

Again, please post the relevant information about the build failure.  I

Packages don't necessarily stop working because of changes in the code.
It is possible that code accidentally worked and stopped working for
one
of a myriad of reasons.

Posting the output of emerge and/or the build log, as per the

I've already deleted the earlier messages in the thread, so I may be
missing something, but this doesn't look like a conflict or USE flag
issue.


Sorry, I don't want to file a bug report if it's just an operator error:

+ emerge --getbinpkg n -v --tree --deep --update --noreplace
--changed-use --verbose-conflicts --keep-going --with-bdeps=y
--backtrack=100 net-misc/inetutils

 * IMPORTANT: 11 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news read to view new items.

 * Last emerge --sync was 1y 286d 18h 36m 20s ago.


When is the last time you did an "emerge --sync" ?  Has it really been
almost two years?  When it the last time you did any sort of emerge
@world?  If it is recently, then how has your portage tree been
updated?  If not recently, it is not surprising if you have problems
updating or installing a single package


 * IMPORTANT: 5 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.


These may or may not be important. but without knowing which files
need updating, and why, there it no guarantee this is not at least
part of your problem.


These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies   * See the CONFIGURATION FILES and
CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS
 * sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.
.. done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "net-misc/inetutils".


Is there anything in /usr/portage/net-misc/inetutils?  (Adjust to
wherever your portage tree actually is.



emerge: searching for similar names...
emerge: Maybe you meant any of these: net-misc/iputils,
net-misc/tipcutils, net-misc/bridge-utils?


When is the last time you did emerge anything successfully?



I don't have a /usr/portage.  Is that a new directory that I should
have?  I also don't have a /etc/portage/inetutils.

I last successfully emerged tnftp yesterday.
