Oh, definitely. But when you're a Linux user with an ATI card, there's nothing but (I'm feeling cranky about this today :) ). I was real surprised when I got a Digest Verification Failed error today as well (twice; I synced again to see if it was fixed yet, but it wasn't. That's when I went to bugs.gentoo.org). I was, in fact, so surprised, that I was almost ready to unmask the update to 8.16.20 (-r1)-- again-- to see if *that* one worked where this update doesn't.... but I got busy with other stuff and didn't bother (yet). If it's still borked tomorrow, I'll probably do that, though. I'm *sure* lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place.... I mean, package.... :-D Holly -- [email protected] mailing list
