I wanted to upgrade to X11R7 (following

Except all the digest errors, I just can't compile some packages I need,
#  emerge -av xorg-x11 --digest


Why are you having to redigest stuff?  This should not be necessary...

Because portage complained about some wrong hashes, I got no idea why.


Ok, well, you *really* should be careful about re-digesting stuff.  A
digest failure means you do not have the files that the Gentoo devs
expect you to have.  The right thing to do in almost all cases of a
digest failure is to:

If it is a failure in /usr/portage/category/pkg/files/:
emerge --sync

or if it is a distfile that it is complaining about:
rm /usr/portage/distfiles/offender.tbz2

As far as your current problem:

emerge --oneshot xproto kbproto libSM
emerge --oneshot libXt
emerge xorg-x11

I know that it is dirty to do this, but I was a bit irritated.
The digest-thing seems to be vanished now, I don't know why.


If it is a failure in /usr/portage/category/pkg/files/:
emerge --sync


The first thing I did (three times today, I hope that I won't be
banned),  but it didn't help.


or if it is a distfile that it is complaining about:
rm /usr/portage/distfiles/offender.tbz2


Twice this day.


As far as your current problem:

emerge --oneshot xproto kbproto libSM
emerge --oneshot libXt
emerge xorg-x11


Uhm, it seems to work :) Thank you very much (except the libSM,
everything has been emerged before, maybe a broken dependencie or
stuff)
