If an emerge sync doesn't fix the problem filing a bug is a perfectly
appropriate solution - any dev can fix this in 30 seconds (assuming it
is obvious the ebuild wasn't tampered with).  Most likely a dev forgot
to run repoman when doing a commit - otherwise the digest error would
have been caught (in theory they are supposed to do this all the time,
but it can be slow).  Ditto for problems when a package is marked stable
and one of its dependencies is not.

90% of the time it was noticed 5 minutes later and fixed, and you might
have done your last emerge sync in the interim.  As a result I usually
resync before filing a bug.
