It's probably pulling the size of the package from the digest, which has 5 files, one for english, etc. But, when you go to emerge the package, it grabs the correct file, and only 1 of those files.
Yeah, looks like it does that.. but why? That's just crazy. Was expecting output like eix, or esearch gives.
While it may be a little strange, there number is correct. The package supports several language variants enabled by using LINGUAS and the total size includes the sizes of those too. That is to say, "size of files" means the size of all files rather than only the ones needed by your particular configuration.
Actually -s should use the same code as -p IMO which it currently doesn't (stumbled about that while testing the restriction code).
(In reply to comment #3) The size of a file is included in the total once for each digest given for that file, which is plainly wrong, e.g.: MD5 59198ce8f82c45cb47227ea6ff4dc641 portage-2.1_pre6.tar.bz2 260675 RMD160 3f1ee96ebda74b0095e1078c048ec3197c05aa79 portage-2.1_pre6.tar.bz2 260675 SHA256 ee026ade6e26fd21b3c013c1a1a36727e6170030d22af8c2e8c5e1337e2723ce portage-2.1_pre6.tar.bz2 260675 * sys-apps/portage Latest version available: 2.1_pre6-r3 Latest version installed: 2.1_pre6-r3 Size of files: 763 kB Homepage: http://www.gentoo.org/ Description: The Portage Package Management System.

The old portage only used 1 hash ( MD5 ) so putting the size after it made at least some sense, obviously not well planned for expansion :)
(In reply to comment #6) > Wrong? redundant, stupid maybe, but not wrong :) The manifest isn't wrong, but the code using the manifest to calculate the download size certainly is if it's tkaing all sizes into account :/.

If we're going to change the size calculation then "Size of files" won't be fitting anymore. The code for the `emerge -pv` size calculation doesn't include files in $DISTDIR that have the correct size. I suppose we could include both calculations in the ouput, so it would look something like this: * app-text/acroread Latest version available: 7.0.5-r2 Latest version installed: 7.0.5-r2 Size of files: 661,839 kB Size of downloads: 0 kB Homepage: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/ Description: Adobe's PDF reader License: Adobe
This seems to be fixed.
