And, if Matias somehow synced more recently than I did, how can his sync result in a *less* informative description than the allegedly older one (mine) ? > This file is resynced when you 'emerge --sync'; it is not owned by a > package in portage.

Just a guess. I sync against the Netherlands rsync pool, SYNC="rsync://rsync.nl.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage". I suppose what you say is possible, but does not seem to be the case.
