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.

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.


try an emerge --sync.


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

Thanks,

Shawn Singh


From time to time, I find packages that I can't d'load from the site
named in the ebuild. What I do in that case, is to google the package
and dload it from another source. I then move it to
/usr/portage/distfiles. Then a normal emerge <PACKAGE_NAME> will run.

here is a source for it:
