Hello.
I update several machines every month. This month, most of the
machines
needed to update more than 300 packages. But one, which isn't any
different than the others, has 0 to update, after running --sync.
Does anybody have an explanation for that?
The manifest verification failed during emerge --sync and you didn't
notice it. Happens to me every time.
Yes! It did! It does, every time! But why? I have enough disk
space...

lists various possible causes, all of which involve complicated or
expensive fixes:
1. with "hard-links"
2. without "hard-links"
3. /usr/portage is corrupted (/var/db/repos/gentoo in my case, I guess)
4. rsync-excludes?
5. use a different mirror (but it works for other machines)
Is there a consensus in the mean time?
