There's a bug on b.g.o about it. It looks like something wrong with the
manifest (bad copy and paste or something; or in any case, the md5 is
the same as all the others when it's not supposed to be or vice versa).
You can check it out by going to packages.gentoo.org, searching
ati-drivers, then clicking the 'bugs' link. It's the newest.

I would imagine that once the bug gets marked as fixed, a sync should
straighten it out. I figure it should be ok again sometime tomorrow
(this is not so much the kind of bug that gets left hanging. I hope).

HTH,
Holly
