Description Kevyn Shortell (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-22 17:48:46 UTC
Machine: iMac G3/400
Build: Current PPC 1.2-b ISO

Using the latest test ISO, I ran a full stage 3 install, incluing emerge rsync,
edited the fstab, and did an emerge rdate. it fetched installed and said I had a
config file to update, so instead of manually doing it, I ran emerge etc-update
and got the following error:

(none) root # emerge gentoolkit
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge dev-util/dialog-0.9_beta20020519 to /
!!! The digest /usr/portage/dev-util/dialog/files/digest-dialog-beta20020519
appears to be corrupt. Aborting.

This is a problem specific with portage apparently per gerk
Comment 2 Mark Guertin 2002-07-23 20:04:57 UTC
not portage problem, was a problem with your portage you rsynced, I think there
is a bad rsync mirror in rotation, I got a couple of very old rsync's recently
Comment 3 Mark Guertin 2002-07-24 10:03:12 UTC
Seemant and myself found problem last night, there was a bad rsync mirror
handing out corrupted files, it has been found and removed from rotation.
