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?
Here's the error:
* Verifying /var/db/repos/gentoo/.tmp-unverified-download-quarantine
...!!! Manifest verification failed:
Manifest mismatch for metadata/Manifest.gz
__size__: expected: 3019, have: 3011
I diffed the two metadata/Manifest.gz files, here as a png to retain the
spacing.
I'm not sure what __size__ is being displayed there.
What's the size of the "Manifest.gz" file?
And did you try re-synching?

I've resynced multiple times over multiple days.
Interesting observation - all three syncs I did in May have this
__size__ issue. When I look back at the logs from April, I see I did it
twice. The first time also failed for metadata/Manifest.gz, but not for
a __size__ problem, but the check sums were dumped.
Apparently, the update failed and I resynced, and the second time it
succeeded!
