I am trying to update a number of programs through emerge and am getting an error on one of the programs saying that the file doesn't exist at the ftp site where emerge is trying to download it from. If I go to the site, the file does not exist because there are newer versions available. Is there a way to specify in Gentoo that a newer version of a particular program should be used?

The program I am not able to get is:
file-4.18

Gentoo is trying to get it at:
ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/file-4.18

but only versions 4.19 and 4.20 exist on the ftp site now. Is there a way to tell Gentoo to try version 4.20 instead of 4.18?

Thanks

have you synced your portage tree lately? that could be causing it to look for the old version.

I was syncing as I posted that question. Guess I jumped the gun. After a sync it is looking for 4.19 now.

Thanks

no problem. good luck!
