I am able to reproduce the failure - the server issues a self-signed certificate which isnt accepted by portage. Quick solution: download mpfi yourself - go into your distfiles directory (usually /usr/portage/distfiles) and type wget --no-check-certificate \ http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/22256/mpfi-1.4.tar.gz which will manually download the tarball. You will then be able to resume the merge. I will try to fix the problem but first have to find out the right solution. Does anyone on the list know how to deal with self signed certificates ? > > Best regards > > Ralf Cheers, Christopher
