Anyone know why truetype.tar.gz is missing from

www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/gentoo-sources

and

www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles

I am in the process of trying to install x11 & KDE, but the x11 emerge keeps failing because it can't find this file.

Thanks,

Sam

Yep... it is missing for shure. I get the following error message when I do "emerge system":

!!!Couldn't download truetype.tar.gz. Aborting.

It would be nice if someone could put it back... :roll:

It seems that some files were deleted from http://www.ibiblio.org.
You need to add mirrors in the file '/etc/make.conf' to have all files:

Code:
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.ibiblio.org ftp://ftp.uit.no/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pubh/os/Linux/distributions/gentoo"


Try to emerge again and see. If it still doesn't work, add more mirrors.

Here are some mirrors I have found:

ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/comp/Linux/sunsite.unc.edu/distributions/gentoo
ftp://ftp.pku.edu.cn/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo
ftp://ftp.uit.no/pub/linux/gentoo
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pubh/os/Linux/distributions/gentoo

It solved the problem at home, I hope it will work for you.

ok...i got the same problem but i solved it....here is what i did....
at the last line of the error msg it will say blah blah aborting on ebuild...go to the dir of that ebuild and edit it...change the 2 lines of /pub/truetype to /truetype/truetype under ftp.truetype.org's section should fix it...obviously they made a mistake with the name of the dir...there is no pub dir under ftp.truetype.org.....

Either that or truetype.org reorganized their ftp server - which is probably more likely.
