While merging Gnome, I ran into this problem during the merging of gtk:

There are two ways to fix this. The easiest one would be to go into /usr/portage/distfiles and unpack the gtk+-2.6-smoothscroll-r5 tarball in distfiles. This will show portage there is a patch there. File a bug as this problem follows all GTK releases, including 2.6.10.

The other way would be to copy over the GTK directory to your portage overlay and edit the ebuild, removing the path to distfiles and replacing it with the files directory. Unpack the gtk+-2.6-smoothscroll-r5 tarball to the files directory, run a digest and it will install. I did this option before I thought about the easier one provided previously...

I took your first suggestion, Lokheed, and it of course worked perfectly. ;-)

Thanks!

I have similar problem:

I had a similar problem with another package. I only had to synchronize again ("emerge --sync") and emerge the package.

It went through no sweat.

I know this is an OLD thread but for anyone viewing this now I have found out the themaze75 was right. If you have this problem just type emerge --sync and that should fix the problem. If not then Lokheed's answer should work.
