If a sync catches a package update in-progress, occasionally, the changed file will be available but the matching digest or manifest file won't be, or the reverse (updated digest/manifest but not yet the datafile). If you are still getting it a day later, check your sync server. It can sometimes get out of sync on one or more files, and if you are always getting the same sync server, that might be it. By default, portage uses a sync pool and you get a random server from the pool, but if you've set it to a specific server or if for some reason you keep getting the same one and it's bad... Of course, it's also possible something has been compromised, which is what the digests are supposed to guard against and why it's not a good idea to simply ebuild digest the new value. That's unlikely but possible. If the issue continues more than a day and you've verified it's not a single sync server issue, bugfile on the package (checking to see if a similar bug has already been filed, naturally). If it's a sync server issue, bugfile on that particular server. BTW, I'm up to udev-84 here and I haven't synced for a few days, but I'm on ~amd64 (~arch means unstable). You are probably running stable amd64. You could try adding that package to /etc/portage/package.keywords (as detailed in the handbook, I believe) with ~amd64, if you want to try a newer version, and possibly avoid the permissions file issue -- at a slight additional risk of problems, but many including myself run their entire system ~arch, without serious issues most of the time. It's up to you, of course. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
