For some legacy software I need printproto and libXp that I keep in my local overlay.

The ebuilds, copied some time ago somewhere, use eclass xorg-3 and EAPI=7. Today after sync it seems xorg-3 dropped support for EAPI=7. I wanted to check if just changing EAPI to 8 in ebuild will work
So I did that and tried to remake the Manifest, and that suddently failed.

It failed on being unable to download the source file

Code:

ebuild printproto-1.0.5-r1.ebuild manifest

>>> Downloading 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/06/printproto-1.0.5.tar.xz'

!!! Couldn't download 'printproto-1.0.5.tar.xz'. Aborting.
!!! Fetch failed for printproto-1.0.5.tar.xz, can't update Manifest


However, the ebuild reads
Code:

cat printproto-1.0.5-r1.ebuild
# Copyright 1999-2017 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2

EAPI=8

DESCRIPTION="X.Org Print protocol headers"
SRC_URI="https://www.x.org/releases/individual/proto/${P}.tar.bz2"

XORG_MULTILIB=yes
inherit xorg-3

KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 arm arm64 hppa ia64 ~mips ppc ppc64 ~s390 ~sh sparc x86 ~ppc-aix ~amd64-fbsd ~x86-fbsd ~amd64-linux ~arm-linux ~x86-linux ~ppc-macos ~x64-macos ~x86-macos ~sparc-solaris ~sparc64-solaris ~x64-solaris ~x86-solaris"
IUSE=""

DEPEND=""
RDEPEND="${DEPEND}"


pointing to repository that DOES have the necessary disfile, moreover I already has it locally. So why does ebuild command decided to download from https://www.x.org/releases/individual/xserver/printproto-1.0.5.tar.xz (which indeed does not exist)
and not from https://www.x.org/releases/individual/proto/${P}.tar.bz2 that ebuild file specifies ??

Because the inherit comes after the SRC_URI, its code is likely setting the SRC_URI value to something else. Move SRC_URI below the inherit if the eclass is wrong.
