Reproducible: Always

It is a dupe of bug 139544.

The old file size (stored at Manifest file) has 21618415 bytes. The new one has
21607720 bytes. Since the new one is smaller, portage think the file has not
been completely downloaded.

Someone please fix the digest/manifest (again).

I think you shouldn't just redigest the package, but also rename ebuild to
indicate it's new beta version or build. Now users have a version/build
depending on when they installed it, all under the same $PV. When it's a major
change, there's also info about what's new -
http://earth.google.com/earth4-beta6.html
And yeah, google should version the distfiles too.
