Hi,

I encountered the same problem.
I unmerged sys-libs/ss, sys-libs/com_err and sys-fs/e2fsprogs.
Of course everything was broken and wget did not work anymore...
So i downloaded sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9.tar.gz with Firefox browser to
/usr/portage/distfile and put >sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9 in package.mask.
Then I could emerge sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9.
Now sys-libs/ss-1.40.9, sys-libs/com_err-1.40.9 and
sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9 are installed and everything works fine.

Cheers,

Jacques
