Description Kobboi 2013-03-01 09:34:12 UTC 
Downloading from download.virtualbox.org:

$ ls -l VirtualBox-4.2.8.tar.bz2 
-rw-r--r-- 1 christophe christophe 76412088 Feb 28 11:22 VirtualBox-4.2.8.tar.bz2

$ sha256sum VirtualBox-4.2.8.tar.bz2 
f336af12244db74e6564dc22e438bbcba70f994aaf0d117fdf70caca9fab1b78  VirtualBox-4.2.8.tar.bz2

Downloading from distfiles.g.o:

$ ls -l /usr/portage/distfiles/VirtualBox-4.2.8.tar.bz2 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 76420670 Feb 27 21:50 /usr/portage/distfiles/VirtualBox-4.2.8.tar.bz2

$ sha256sum /usr/portage/distfiles/VirtualBox-4.2.8.tar.bz2 
bc9185e0c300d61e2a6c8ac48b4bea6a0a456c9ba11d1fbadf2d1e6ca063f2b4  /usr/portage/distfiles/VirtualBox-4.2.8.tar.bz2

I noticed this when yesterday, distfiles.g.o was not yet serving this file, resulting in a download from upstream and a digest failure. This would mean the current ebuild cannot be used when for some reason the Gentoo mirrors are down or stop serving these sources.

Reproducible: Always

What I think happened here is that upstream changed the tarball after they released it. And this is why you get a different digest

That's exactly what happened. I'm woring on it (have to change more than just app-emulation/virtualbox ebuild -.-).

Thank you for reporting this issue :)


+  01 Mar 2013; Lars Wendler <polynomial-c@gentoo.org> virtualbox-4.2.8.ebuild:
+  Upstream replaced the source tarball once again (bug #459842). Removed
+  useless code from ebuild.
+

Should be fixed now. Please wait a while until the mirrors have picked up the new tarball...
