Either you made a typo or there's a typo in the ebuild somehow. Looking at my copy of the ebuild (which I last synced, well, a while ago. This is on a stable box that doesn't need much updating.): # Copyright 1999-2009 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-fs/dmg2img/dmg2img-1.6.ebuild,v1.1 2009/05/24 10:33:28 ssuominen Exp $ EAPI=2 inherit toolchain-funcs DESCRIPTION="Converts Apple DMG files to standard HFS+ images" HOMEPAGE="http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools"; SRC_URI="http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/download.pl?${P}.tar.gz"; So your really should be trying to download http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/download.pl?dmg2img-1.6.1.tar.gz Notice the .pl? The author has the downloads fed via some sort of perl script... so the question mark '?' makes perfect sense.
