This happens when upstream changes the package without bumping the
filename. If you have the package in $DISTDIR from the last time you
emerged it, you'll get an error. Portage won't try to download the file
from elsewhere because you already have it. Delete the copy you have 
and it should download and emerge correctly next time.
