Hello,

when emerging dhcpcd it attempts to retrieve the source from
<mirrorname>/distfiles/...
looking at the mirror the file is actually at
<mirrorname>/gentoo/distfiles/...

Is this the correct place to bring this to your attention?

regards

Chris

That mirror is set up wrong, contact the admins of the mirror you are
using. Proper mirrors work properly:

It is also possible that he has an incorrect URL in GENTOO_MIRRORS;
not every gentoo mirror sticks distfiles in a top-level directory. For
example:

http://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/

This is listed on the gentoo mirrors page.
