Strange, but now (two days or so later), after some other emerge syncs and stuff, this is the output: # emerge -Du world Calculating world dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) gnome-extra/gdesklets-core-0.35_rc1 to / >>> md5 files ;-) gdesklets-core-0.35_rc1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) metadata.xml >>> md5 files ;-) gdesklets-core-0.32.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) gdesklets-core-0.33.1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) gdesklets-core-0.34.3.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) ChangeLog >>> md5 files ;-) gdesklets-core-0.26.2.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) gdesklets-core-0.26.1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-gdesklets-core-0.32 >>> md5 files ;-) files/dst-fix-0.34.3.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-gdesklets-core-0.26.1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-gdesklets-core-0.34.3 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-gdesklets-core-0.35_rc1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/gdesklets-displays.desktop >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-gdesklets-core-0.33.1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/gdesklets-control-getid >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-gdesklets-core-0.26.2 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) gDesklets-0.35rc1.tar.bz2 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) develbook.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking gDesklets-0.35rc1.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/gdesklets-core-0.35_rc1/work bzip2: /usr/portage/distfiles/gDesklets-0.35rc1.tar.bz2 is not a bzip2 file. >>> Unpacking develbook.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/gdesklets-core-0.35_rc1/work>>> Source unpacked. !!!

http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/ isn't responding, and I'm still getting md5sum failures when emerging gnome-extra/gdesklets-core-0.35_rc1 It would seem either the site has been compromised, or some backend script's gone haywire.
Examining the file /usr/portage/distfiles/gDesklets-0.35rc1.tar.bz2 showed that it appears to start as an HTML file, followed by binary data. I re-merged with the file located at "http://www.gdesklets.org/releases/gDesklets-0.35rc1.tar.bz2" (after regenerating the digest) and it merged correctly. If the maintainer of the gdesklets ebuild re-uploads gDesklets-0.35rc1.tar.bz2 into the repository from the gdesklets site, this should be able to be closed.
The downloaded file wasn't html for me, but did fail the MD5 checksum. The upstream tarball seems to have changed for good - re-upload and regen the digest.
Digest was good, file on mirrors was bad. Should be fixed now.
Fixed, thanks for the heads-up.
