When emerging media-gfx/bootsplash-0.6-r1, portage appeared to correctly download the tarball from a nearby mirror (indicator bar goes to 100%), and then said it was "Resuming download" from a different mirror (oregonstate) . The result is a corrupted file. Transcript below. This may be related to bug 21584 ... symptoms appear similar. I cannot recall if there was a prior download attempt from oregonstate that failed, leaving something that emerge is picking up. It is also possible that system problems played a part ... the hard drive on the emerging machine has been getting flakey, and I've also been messing around with different kernel configs (nothing radical, just different options in gentoo-sources). OTOH, that machine sucessfully emerged a number of other packages (nessus, for example) in the last 24 hours, and also, changing make.conf to remove the guilty mirror and put oregonstate at the head of the list resulted in a successful download. ----------- Transcript: (my observations between [[[ and ]]]) ----------- [[[ emerge sync performed just prior to following commands ]]] skipper modules.d # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge --noconfmem bootsplash Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) media-gfx/bootsplash-0.6-r1 to / !!!

More info: There is a problem with the copy of the file on the clarkson mirror. Downloaded it by hand and the md5 sum is wrong. I will attempt to contact the sysadmins there. Stilll, the "resuming download" behavior of emerge is also wrong. If a file is corrupt, instead of attempting to resume downloading (from a different mirror!), shouldn't it *restart* the downoad? One more datapoint: when I put the corrupted file into distfiles and emerged, it again "resumed" the download from oregonstate: ---------- Resolving mirror.clarkson.edu... done.
