When trying to upgrade mc (Midnight Commander, app-misc/mc-4.6.0-r11), the emerge fails and abort on md5 check like so: >>> emerge (1 of 2) app-misc/mc-4.6.0-r11 to / >>> Resuming download... >>> Downloading ftp://mirror.pudas.net/gentoo/distfiles/mc-4.6.0-sambalib-3.0.0.patch.bz2 --12:22:19-- ftp://mirror.pudas.net/gentoo/distfiles/mc-4.6.0-sambalib-3.0.0.patch.bz2 => `/usr/portage/distfiles/mc-4.6.0-sambalib-3.0.0.patch.bz2' Resolving mirror.pudas.net... 195.245.242.43 Connecting to mirror.pudas.net[195.245.242.43]:21... connected.

try to remove your distfiles and emerge mc again
Sorry for being a dodo. When you say 'distfiles', could you point me to the directories containing the files to remove please, assuming I have not changed default locations of portage stuff (which I havent). Thanks.
it's /usr/portage/distfiles
Yup! That did the trick. No problems this time. Closed where I'm concerned. Thanks a lot Heinrich for the snappy and helpful response.
fine -> close :)
