Same problem here

[Comment 2 Anthony Knittel 2010-09-08 03:31:31 UTC]

same problem.  

I found other comments for similar bugs suggesting workarounds, but there isn't enough detail about how to do it.  I tried "emerge --digest googleearth", which didn't work, and other comments like using "ebuild --force googleearth-5.2.1.1547_beta.ebuild manifest" or "repoman manifest" are poorly explained (eg how to use the commands).

Well, I solved the problem the ugly way: I modified the /usr/portage/sci-geosciences/googleearth/Manifest file, and I had the line:

DIST GoogleEarthLinux-5.2.1.1547_beta.bin 31399370 RMD160 37ad0c000a50d1fc953c9570d75aac6b8673aa40 SHA1 8a11f50131901d647f82ff7c1eb075b076bf9463 SHA256 dbe73f8deaaeb9e4354594c13693bb0290160745ba7e68b708dbadb80250ff11

become:

DIST GoogleEarthLinux-5.2.1.1547_beta.bin 31406473 RMD160 181ed85cb057a2c2eca97f28c07bcda40a2fa0da SHA1 75a458be01c331ac6d4dcd29f91d562fc3dfc604 SHA256 2e6fcbd2384446e2a6eed8ca23173e32c5f3f9ae4d1168e2e348c3924fd2bf30

It then installed. But it would crash. Having read about the qt-bundled flag beeing enabled by default because of frequent crashes and since I had it disabled on my system, I enabled it and got GoogleEarth up and running.
But why on (Google)earth :-) is the Manifest not in sync with the downloaded file?

Because Google updates (bumps) the downloaded file without changing the URL, and the license doesn't allow us to mirror it on gentoo mirrors. So if it stops being in sync, a bump has to be done. Bumped to 5.2.1.1588, please sync.
