[gentoo-dev] 1.4 build problem at 'emerge system'

[Robert Moulton]

building a 1.4 box I just ran into a problem... at the 'emerge system'
step it seems that the syslibs/db-3.2.9-r1 package can't be retrieved:

cdimage portage # emerge system

The file doesn't seem to be available from those donwload sources anymore. Do:

   nano -w /usr/portage/syslibs/db/db-3.2.9.ebuild

then change the line that says:

   SRC_URI="http://www.sleepycat.com/update/${PV}/${P}.tar.gz"

to:

   SRC_URI="http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux/${PV}/${P}.tar.gz"

Issue Ctrl + X to exit, and answer (Y)es when you're prompted to save. That should sort it.

It's still there.  Try:
