Bugzilla Bug 80378

The wretched thing kept saying this:

!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!!    /usr/portage/distfiles/hldsupdatetool_readme.txt
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size

So I removed the file from the SRC_URI line in the ebuild.

reasonsToHateSteam++;

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge halflife-steam
2. Raise eyebrow at "get the files yourself" message.
3. ftp ftp.valvesoftware.com
4. emerge halflife-steam

Actual Results:  
Portage retorted with:
!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!!    /usr/portage/distfiles/hldsupdatetool_readme.txt
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size

Expected Results:  
>>> Merging games-server/halflife-steam-2.0 to /

sounds like maybe you transfered the text file in ASCII mode ?

when i transfer it in binary i get the same md5 as is recorded in portage

other way around.  For some reason, if you ftp the file in binary mode, it
comes out smaller.  ascii mode gets you a file with some duplicated text at the
end which looks wrong to me.  updated the digest to reflect the smaller file
size.

This does not seem to be fixed for me. I've downloaded the file a million times
and the error is still there. No duplicated text seen.

Can you please write the exact wget command you use to download it or fix the
ebuild?

Thanks...
