Bear in mind this overrides the security that digests provide, although
it is harmless when it is only a Chnagleog file.

That's not a good idea as the mismatch could be caused by a hacked
source or binary file. The problem with Google Earth was that they used
unversioned tarballs. Whenever you gt a digest error on a distfile, the
first step is to delete the distfile and let emerge download it again. If
that doesn't help, resync and then check Bugzilla. Don't redigest a
distfile unless you can e 100% certain of its validity.
