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... Radek P.
