Help - emerge Problems

I don't know if these problems are related but when I try to do a 'emerge sync" I get the the following error:

@ERROR: Unknown module '*'
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (953 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)

I can see the MSOD, logos etc from the server but I get the error.

I resolved this problem by running the emerge_websync scipt, that seemed to work.

I continued to 'emerge -u system' which seemed to work well, left it over night and got this error this morning:

Calculating system dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 6) sys-apps/util-linux-2.11z-r4 to /

Please help.
Thanks,

I think the two problems have different sources..

1) about web-rsync : are u running emerge behind a firewall ? If you do, it might explain why

2) the problem with util-linux doens't seem to have anything to do with the 1st problem. try to merge a different version, or look at the bug reports, or try to see if others have the same problem...

sounds like a config file problem to me, chech that you have the latest up to date make.defaults file, and that you didn't set anything strange in GENTOO_MIRRORS variable in any config files (like to *)

optionally try GENTOO_MIRRORS="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org" emerge rsync .. if that works then it's definately a config file problem
