Here's a quick tip in the future.. You can use qpkg (included in gentoolkit) to find out what package a particular file belongs to, and then re-emerge that package. qpkg -f filename. Now since your net connection was borked this wouldn't help unless you had the package in your distfiles. But in the future its a good way to repair funked up files.
