Ever since I upgraded portage to the latest version of portage, there have been a large number of instances where, when upgrading or emerging new packages, I get the following error: emerge -u mplayer Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 3) media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.11 to / >>> Downloading http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo/distfiles/alsa-driver-1.0.11.tar.bz2 --07:26:14-- http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo/distfiles/alsa-driver-1.0.11.tar.bz2 => `/usr/portage/distfiles/alsa-driver-1.0.11.tar.bz2' Resolving mirror.datapipe.net... 64.27.65.115 Connecting to mirror.datapipe.net|64.27.65.115|:80... connected.

Security Violation: A file exists that is not in the manifest. !!! File: files/digest-alsa-headers-1.0.11_rc5 Running emerge --sync does not ameliorate this problem. The only thing that works for me is to go into the portage tree and manually delete the offending file/ebuild. So, in this case, I had to delete files/digest-alsa-headers-1.0.11_rc5 and alsa-headers-1.0.11_rc5.ebuild I wonder if anyone else has had this problem, and what I can do about it.

This is not a mirror problem, this is an issue with the ebuilds that you were trying to emerge. Reassigning.
I've just emerged alsa 1.0.11; all works fine. As you can see, there's no such file in CVS either... http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-headers/files/
