Re: xfree emerge problem

There have been a number of changes to portage and rsync lately. I 
know this as I regularly:

# emerge rsync
# emerge -p -u world

You may simply want to wait a few days and try again.

If it still breaks or you don't want to wait - you could report it 
as a bug. I found a similar problem with the OpenOffice.org 
ebuild and so reported it. In the case of OOo, the check for gcc 
version is broken.

You may also want to go to www.forums.gentoo.org and read the News 
& Announcements forum. Especially this one:

Good luck!
