[gentoo-user] Can't get Vi

Hey all,

When trying to emerge vi, emerge fails on step 1 of 3 because it cannot find
vim-6.3.068-netrw.tar.bz2. Here is a snippet from the last bit of the run of
emerge:

09:55:37 ERROR 404: Not Found.

!!! Couldn't download vim-6.3.068-netrw.tar.bz2. Aborting.

I've been getting the same results for the past week and a half. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Shawn Singh

The emerge --sync fixed the problem. The previous emerge was looking
for a slightly older version (6.3 instead of 6.4).

Thanks all!

Yes, issue an emerge sync first. The explanation is that you still have 
te ebuild-6.5.068 but the package itself don't exist anymore.

Thanks for the info. Before I could emerge --sync I had to update portage.
Once I did that, I was able to do the emerge --sync and then emerge vim.

Again, thank you all for your help.
