After an emerge --sync that appeared to work with no problems, my
"emerge -auvND world" command is reporting that the Changelong files
are broken for about 2/3 of the packages it wants to update:
!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/dev-libs/libxml2/ChangeLog
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
!!! Got: 5221
!!! Expected: 5038
!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/app-text/iso-codes/ChangeLog
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
!!! Got: 4195
!!! Expected: 4014
[ ... and so on for another dozen or so packages ... ]
I removed the emerge timestamp, sync'ed again, and got the same
result. Based on past experiences, I'm guessing that if I wait a day
or two and sync again the problems will go away.
But I am curious what causes these temporary breakages. Does anybody
know how this happens?
