the psycopg ebuild (1.1.15) is failing on a checksum error. I have fixed these kinds of errors in the past by moving the portage tree out of the way and resyncing the system, but in this case, the error is persistent. I then manually added ~amd64 to the accept keywords for the 1.1.18 ebuild, and got exactly the same error: infiltrator psycopg # emerge psycopg Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-python/psycopg-1.1.18 to / !!! Digest verification Failed: !!! /usr/portage/dev-python/psycopg/psycopg-1.1.18.ebuild !!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size >>> Please ensure you have sync'd properly. Please try 'emerge sync' and >>> optionally examine the file(s) for corruption. A sync will fix most cases. infiltrator psycopg # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.11-gentoo-r10 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r10 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.8 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -pipe -O2" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control /var/vpopmail/domains /var/vpopmail/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/init.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -pipe -O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aalib acpi adns alsa arts berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl directfb dvd dvdread eds fam flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imagemagick imlib ipv6 jabber jack java jp2 jpeg junit kde lame ldap libwww lzw lzw-tiff mad maildir mikmod motif mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses network nls odbc ogg opengl oss pam pda pdflib perl pic png postgres python qt readline ruby samba sdl slang speex ssl tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb userlocales vorbis xine xml xml2 xmms xpm xrandr xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS infiltrator psycopg # gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/specs Configured with: /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.4.4/work/gcc-3.4.4/configure --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.4.4 --includedir=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/include --datadir=/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4 --mandir=/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/man --infodir=/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/info --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/include/g++-v3 --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --disable-altivec --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --with-system-zlib --disable-checking --disable-werror --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-multilib --disable-libgcj --enable-languages=c,c++,f77 --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge psycopg 2.emerge fails immediately 3.

dunno why no one closed this, but i can't reproduce this, maybe it was a transient error.
This bug went away after an upgrade.
