When I attempted to upgrade proftpd tonight, I got an error on the dev-db/libpq dependancy that the file size of one of some of the ebuilds were incorrect. I tried syncing twice, I noticed that the last server synced with was cockatoo.gentoo.org but didn't notice what the other one was, but that didn't fix the problem. I ran ebuild <path to ebuild> digest and that let me continue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge sync 2.emerge dev-db/libpq 3. Actual Results: emerge failed with manifest file problems (file size on different ebuilds) Expected Results: installed the libpq upgrade
this usually happens when there is a race condition in the sync. it happens once in a while and usually isnt a problem after a resync
