I am in the process of installing Gentoo for like the dozenth time on the dozenth computer. Yay Gentoo! Well, I was kinda surprised to find an error with texinfo. Specifically, I wasn't too surprised to see an error, but I was surprised that I couldn't download texinfo at all!

It turns out gnu.org has moved texinfo from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.3.tar.gz to ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.3d.tar.gz. Note the extra d.

I think I solved the problem by copying texinfo-4.3-r1.ebuild to texinfo-4.3d-r1.ebuild, but I'm not sure because when I installed the "d" version, it asked me something about applying a patch even though something didn't match up. Somebody more experienced with ebuilds can feel free to fix this, or verify that what I did should work.

Hope this helps somebody! :wink:
