Description:   Opened: 2007-12-22 15:29 0000 
Today I downloaded the file GoogleEarthLinux.bin containing version
4.2.205.5730, moved it into /usr/portage/distfiles and run "emerge -a
googleearth" successfully with the ebuild which name indicates an older
software version.

Reproducible: Always

Yeah, you can try to explain upstream that they should use less idiotic
filename for distributing this stuff, so far every effort there failed. It was
redigested without actually changing the version recently, because upstream
broke the manifest once again due to this ingenious file naming. [1]

This thing plain shouldn't be stable and preferably shouldn't be in the tree at
all.

welp: why didnt you bump the version number when fixing the digest? Really now
that portage deletes incorrect distfiles it makes sense because it signals a
new version to the user.

I just assumed that I get bugs about digest failures again and can bump it for
new versions .. but havent thought of those devs! Sorry
