In case anyone has the same problem, here's the solution:

paludis --uninstall --permit-unsafe-uninstalls com_err
paludis --uninstall --permit-unsafe-uninstalls ss

If you like borked systems, then yes. Uninstalling com_err breaks wget!!!! So
don't tell people to uninstall com_err w/o telling them to fetch new stuff
first.

Yes! Dirk's right. Don't go the --permit-unsafe-uninstalls route without fetching first. I fell into this trap when I tried to resolve this block about a week ago. (Wish I'd known about --dl-blocks discard).

But, if anyone gets into the same bind, the 'GET' alias installed by dev-perl/libwww-perl is a simple way to fetch URLs that doesn't depend on com_err ('curl' doesn't work either). I used the following (all one line)

GET 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2.tar.gz' > 
/usr/portage/distfiles/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2.tar.gz

Best,
Ben
