gnome-core is an old package which is strictly for GNOME 1.4. From
gnome-core-1.4.2-r1.ebuild:

If you don't want GNOME, don't install it. Install the programs you
want (Galeon, Evolution, etc.) individually and let Portage install the
correct set of dependencies. You'll mostly likely end up with 90% of a
full GNOME installation, anyway.

Try again in a little while. If the problem persists, check your
firewall and Internet connection. If all else fails, download the file
Portage is looking for from
http://www.samba.org/ and place it in
/usr/portage/distfiles.
