Delete the file from $DISTDIR (/usr/portage/distfiles) if it is there,
emerge --sync and try again.


Well, that worked.  Any thoughts about what happened?  Or is it just
one of the great ineffables.

Upstream probably changed the tarball without making a proper revision bump. 
The developer who commited a change to the ebuild had the old version in his 
$DISTDIR and didn't remove and refetch before digesting. I blame 
upstream... ;)
