Hey all,
When trying to emerge vi, emerge fails on step 1 of 3 because it
cannot find vim-6.3.068-netrw.tar.bz2. Here is a snippet from the
last bit of the run of emerge:
09:55:37 ERROR 404: Not Found.
!!! Couldn't download vim-6.3.068-netrw.tar.bz2. Aborting.
try an emerge --sync.
I've been getting the same results for the past week and a half.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Shawn Singh
From time to time, I find packages that I can't d'load from the site
named in the ebuild. What I do in that case, is to google the package
and dload it from another source. I then move it to
/usr/portage/distfiles. Then a normal emerge <PACKAGE_NAME> will run.
here is a source for it:
