I've raised this question before and the only useful answer I got was to
keep trying
On the off chance that something is screwy on the remote end, you can
always use "emerge-webrsync" and delay the problem until next time.

Otherwise, I would say check "dmesg" for disk errors, but if it's
happening on two machines that's a lot less likely.
I have this problem every month.  Why does it fail?  Is it just a
timeout because my network is slow?  Can that be tweaked?
I get this problem over here, but on rare occasions.  Leaving it for half a
day usually fixes it.  Have you tried a different rsync mirror?  You can use
'mirrorselect -i -r' for this task.


Unfortunately, mirrorselect doesn't seem to work anymore:

configparser.MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers.

It seems to have lost track of whether it's editing make.conf or repos.conf.

I ran it with the -o option, to a tempfile and tried to put that into
/etc/portage/repos.conf, I think, but that didn't work either.

Next, I manually editted /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf and put
that line in where the old sync-uri was defined.  But that didn't work
either.

Now, I've created a new directory /etc/portage/repos.conf/ and moved the
file generate by the -o of mirrorselect into that as gentoo.conf and
added a "[gentoo]" section head.  It MIGHT be working now.
