On the off chance that something is screwy on the remote end, you can
always use "emerge-webrsync" and delay the problem until next time.
Otherwise, I would say check "dmesg" for disk errors, but if it's
happening on two machines that's a lot less likely.
I have this problem every month. Why does it fail? Is it just a
timeout because my network is slow? Can that be tweaked?
I get this problem over here, but on rare occasions. Leaving it for half a day usually fixes it. Have you tried a different rsync mirror? You can use 'mirrorselect -i -r' for this task.
Unfortunately, mirrorselect doesn't seem to work anymore:
configparser.MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers.
It seems to have lost track of whether it's editing make.conf or repos.conf.
I ran it with the -o option, to a tempfile and tried to put that into /etc/portage/repos.conf, I think, but that didn't work either.
Next, I manually editted /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf and put
that line in where the old sync-uri was defined. But that didn't work
either.
Now, I've created a new directory /etc/portage/repos.conf/ and moved the
file generate by the -o of mirrorselect into that as gentoo.conf and
added a "[gentoo]" section head. It MIGHT be working now.
