if you try with:

Code: Select all

equo update --force


it still gives this output?

[corris]

Yep - still the same

[micia]

Try to update entropy using emerge:

Code: Select all

emerge --sync && layman -S
emerge -av entropy equo sulfur
equo database gentoosync


(it could take some time)

then try again with the update:

Code: Select all

equo update


[corris]

Code: Select all

emerge -av entropy equo sulfur


failed

Code: Select all

Are you sure that your network connection is working fine?
I am able to emerge entropy with no issues at all

[corris]

Yep - network is fine - posting here OK

[micia]

If you retry does it still complains?
(maybe it was just a temporary problem)
otherwise try do download manually the package from the link reported in the error.
