You have the same files that I have. Unfortunately, only now I actually did: $ grep busybox-9999 Manifest EBUILD busybox-9999.ebuild 8580 [...] ??? I have the same wrong size recorded in the Manifest! No idea why portage didn't yell at me - there seems to be another bug involved. So, sorry, my previous conjecture was wrong. The only information which I can give you currently, is that probably all mirrors contain the same broken Manifest in the moment. *Perhaps* (a very wild conjecture!) the reason why this Manifest got not updated is the same bug which caused portage not to yell at me, despite the broken Manifest. As a temporary hack, calling "ebuild manifest" on that file is probably the only reasonable way to proceed, but this problem must be fixed, of course...
