There is often a couple of ebuilds in the tree that need manual editing for one reason or another so the digest needs regenerating. For one off's its easier to do it in situ, but if long term pain is expected its better to do in an overlay.
Same day I also got caught with googleearth - tried to install it, the digest is wrong as if they keep changing it (happens nearly everytime for GE). Gave up and just installed it via the google stuff manually so I didnt have to deal with it :) BillK On Sat, 2009-11-21 at 08:38 +0000, Neil Bothwick wrote: > On Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:33:17 +0800, William Kenworthy wrote: > > > Thanks, yes I am aware of the caveats - but they dont really apply when > > rescuing something as severely broken as this system was - I upgraded 3 > > machines without a problem, and this one died on reboot - badly :( > > Too badly to resync?
