[gentoo-user] Install prob - /usr/portage/distfiles//m4_1.4-15.diff.gz

[Anthony Kaufman]

Everything has gone smoothly in my install of Gentoo up to the "emerge 
system".  When I download m4_1.4-15.diff.gz the recorded md5 is 
different from the downloaded file's.  I've used multiple mirrors and 
sync'd multiple times to no avail.

Just out of curiosity, I verified the file's md5 by moving it to another 
machine and calculating the md5 manually from there.  Indeed, the md5 
did not match the recorded one but instead matched the one portage 
calculated for the file I downloaded.

On a side note, I'm not sure what this has to do with the problem but I 
also get an error message after the normal digest mismatch message 
saying:

!!! File does not exist: /usr/portage/distfiles//m4_1.4-15.diff.gz
        ( Note the double / )
To the best of my knowledge, I have not modified anything that could 
cause this.  In make.conf I have only edited my CFLAGS, USE, and MIRROR 
variables and have not touched any of the other defaults.   Also, the 
file downloads correctly to /usr/portage/distfiles/m4_1.4-15.diff.gz.  
Like I said though, the md5 that portage is calculating IS CORRECT for 
the file I downloaded so either my recorded md5 is wrong or I've 
actually downloaded a bad file.

Any ideas?
