Created attachment 398822 [details] emerge --info There might be wrong checksums in the Manifest of dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.40. I downloaded the file jdk-8u40-linux-x64.tar.gz from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html a few times but got a checksum error every time: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.40::gentoo !!! Previously fetched file: 'jdk-8u40-linux-x64.tar.gz' !!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size !!! Got: 173190465 !!! Expected: 173218127 Refetching... File renamed to '/usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-8u40-linux-x64.tar.gz._checksum_failure_.pXtp57' I worked around and finally got it installed - and it worked. Here are some details of the archive I downloaded (on 2015-03-13 20:21 UTC+2): $ du -b jdk-8u40-linux-x64.tar.gz 173190465 jdk-8u40-linux-x64.tar.gz $ md5sum jdk-8u40-linux-x64.tar.gz 3b3f74589539b8bbe5d78005e52f4f78 jdk-8u40-linux-x64.tar.gz
