x11-misc/googleearth-4.2.205.5730 emerge has failed multiple times from 8/29 until 9/1 (at least) due to a digest verfication failure. I've run emerg --sync (twice) and still have the problem. I can emerge other packages fine. The Gentoo Handbooks says that these problems are usually temporary. This has lasted a long time, making me think there's a bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge googlearth 2. 3. Actual Results: !!! Digest verification failed: !!! /usr/portage/distfiles/GoogleEarthLinux.bin !!!

Google has a history of making new versions of googleearth and saving them over the old one instead of creating a new filename, and that leads us to this problem where both googleearth-4.2.205.5730 and googleearth-4.3.7284.3916 downloaded the same file called GoogleEarthLinux.bin -- and the later version of GoogleEarthLinux.bin is the one that ended up in the Manifest. Sadly, we can't even mirror the files with properly versioned names because the googleearth license does not allow it to be mirrored. A nofetch hack may be the only solution for now: making the user download the file and manually move it to a versioned filename, so that both googleearth versions can appear as distinct entries in the Manifest. Meanwhile, you can temporarily switch the digest on your own system to get version 4.2.205.5730 installed right now (it's ok to recalculate the digest in this instance, now that you know the mismatch is due to lack of upstream versioning rather than indicating a file was corrupted...) cd /usr/portage/x11-misc ebuild googleearth-4.2.205.5730.ebuild digest
Thanks for the fix, worked fine. Should I close this bug or leave it open?
Additionally to this i d like to say that there is again an issue with googleearth-4.3.7284.3916 The fetch process doesnt seem to work that well >>> Emerging (1 of 1) x11-misc/googleearth-4.3.7284.3916 >>> Downloading 'http://dl.google.com/earth/client/GE4/release_4_3/GoogleEarthLinux.bin' --2008-10-01 01:58:26-- http://dl.google.com/earth/client/GE4/release_4_3/GoogleEarthLinux.bin Resolving dl.google.com... 66.249.93.93, 66.249.93.136, 66.249.93.91 Connecting to dl.google.com|66.249.93.93|:80... connected.

The problem with the latest ebuild is that it doesn't rename the file to GoogleEarthLinux-4.3.7284.3916.bin as it should. If you rename the file manually it works just fine. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix the ebuild :-(
Looks like this bug was forgotten due to package name not being correct in summary. Anyway, all versions are fetchable and verifiable now.
