It means the maintainer of that package cocked up and did not redigest it after a new commit. Wait one hour, re-sync, try again. Failing that, open a bug and report a digest failure for the package. For the brave, just redigest it yourself if you are certain all the fules you have for the package are legit: as root: ebuild /path/to/any/ebuild/in/the/package.ebuild manifest -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
