Go to bugs.gentoo.org, search for ALL dev-pyton/setuptools, and check the bugs from say 280000 on. In this case, the bottom four bugs as of this writing are all duplicates on this, with .... http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292095 ... being the one the other three are duplicates off of. Doing that gets you about the same information you're going to get by posting here, only you don't have to wait for a reply to get it. In this case, the bug should be already fixed. Resync and try again. If it does happen to still be an issue after a sync and retry, then you may have another bug to worry about. File it and mention that you DID sync and try again, and either your mirror is lagging (bug in the mirror infrastructure) or there's another ebuild bug to worry about. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
