If the needed source file doesn't exist in DISTDIR, then size to download is reported correctly, but if the download is incomplete, emerge -pv tells there are 0KB to download. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try emerge -pv about something that isn't in DISTDIR 2. put an empty file (or an incomplete download) instead of source one 3. call again emerge -pv Actual Results: 1) macula root # emerge -pv mozilla-firefox These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Side note: even with "-f" filesize is not checked.

Putting a hold on feature requests for portage as they are drowning out the bugs. Most of these features should be available in the next major version of portage. But for the time being, they are just drowning out the major bugs and delaying the next version's progress. Any bugs that contain patches and any bugs for etc-update or dispatch-conf can be reopened. Sorry, I'm just not good enough with bugzilla. ;)
Pretty sure this is fixed by now.
This was fixed in portage-2.1 for bug #116796.
Who is supposed to close this bug report, then?
Reopening for duping.
