I am running revdep-rebuild, and it is getting stuck when it wants to
emerge wget. It wants to download it using wget.

I downloaded the tar file for wget, but where should I place it so that
it does not need to download it. I tried putting it
in /usr/portage/distfiles/. but is still tries to download it.

Do I need to issue an emerge switch to tell it to use the tar file?

Thanks
