Well, have you checked the filesystem for errors? Only way to know if it has any.

I forced fsck on reboot and it says that filesystem is clean. Is this reliable way to check consistency?

It should be reliable. Have the permissions on /usr/portage/distfiles changed? The only other thing that comes to mind are the userpriv,usersandbox,and userfetch features. I'm not sure if they require you to change the permissions on /usr/portage/distfiles or not, much less if you're using them in make.conf. Actually, I'm not even sure what permissions are being denied. Seems like it may be coming from the mirror end of things, in which case rsync might be broken.

what version portage are you running??

i seem to be getting the same problem on portage 2.1.3.3, it doesnt download anything but manages to compile fine..

downgraded to stable portage or rc9 to getting it working again

Permissions for /usr/portage/distfiles are same as always. Nothing changed. I also don't use features that you mentioned. I'm currently using portage 2.1.3.2 and compiling seems to work just fine. It just doesn't download anything. I'll try to downgrade portage and see what happens.

I tried different versions but it didn't solve the problem. At least I can always use wget and download everything in /usr/portage/distfiles manually since compiling works fine. :roll:

Hi,
to solve premission denied put a:

FEATURES="-userfetch"

in your /etc/make.conf

userfetch is now enabled by default.

Regards

Thank you codarin! It did solve my problem!

I've been away for a while and thought that there's no solution for this. You made my day! Thanks.

I have no idea what is going on. There must be a simple solution for it, at least I hope.

After the new year count down, I came back and try to do a system update. emerge --sync worked fine. But when I was trying to update individual packages, I got [Errno 13] error:

Try adding:

That works. Thanks for the info, eyong100.

for the others, more info: http://linuxreviews.org/man/make.conf/

I actually picked up a new feature: "parallel-fetch" which works quite well.
