After I got the new portage update (and read the news item to go with it), I decided to sync again to try and get manual verification out of the way. However, both times I got the sync to work (one time didn't work because I hadn't yet deleted timestamp.chk), it fails in the post-sync verification step. Both times it failed, this was the mirror in question: rsync://[2a01:488:67:1000:b01c:3277:0:1]/gentoo-portage I would test further to see if it's just the one mirror, but I'd rather not risk being seen as an abuser of the rsync system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure you have portage 2.3.22 2. Run emerge --sync Actual Results: sent 31.15K bytes received 4.12M bytes 61.49K bytes/sec total size is 224.45M speedup is 54.07 ERROR:root:OpenPGP verification failed: gpg: directory '/root/.gnupg'
