Comment 1 Blake Leverett 2016-01-08 23:06:26 UTC

I was able to find the right source file by going to gentoo.org and going to mirrors and saving the file manually, until I found one that matched the checksum.

I have this problem a lot and it is annoying.  It seems like there would be a way to check mirrors for the incorrect versions of source files and remove them, so that a gentoo install would just pick another mirror with the correct file.  Or something like that.

Sorry to complain, I love using gentoo and it usually works just great.
