Re: [gentoo-user] adobe-flash and constant errors.

[William Kenworthy <billk@iinet.net.au>]

I get this, commonly with adobe-flash and google-earth.  I suspect that
they change the file content or dynamically regenerate it faster than
portage can track them/my local repos update. The only fix I have been
able to come up with is check as far as possible where the binary came
from and regenerate the manifest before emerging ... hardly secure.
