Trying to emerge dictd, it failed in the following way: >>> emerge (1 of 11) app-text/dictd-1.9.11-r1 to / !!! Digest verification Failed: !!! /usr/portage/distfiles/dictd-1.9.11.tar.gz !!! Reason: Failed on MD5 verification I then tried emerge sync'ing as well as removing the mirror that I had been using when I got the failure, but to no avail. Perhaps the MD5 *is* wrong? Please advise ... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sync 2. emerge -a =dictd-1.9.11-r1 Actual Results: >>> emerge (1 of 11) app-text/dictd-1.9.11-r1 to / !!!

md5sum is correct. Just checked with sourceforge.
I guess one or more of the mirrors had a problem, not Gentoo itself.
