Thank you!  I've remerged pax-utils.  This is an old laptop and both the main 
battery and CMOS battery have run out of juice.  I noticed that the clock was 
out by more than 100 years - but I think that I had sync'ed portage in the 
meanwhile.

I have not been able to proceed with pam, because world now wants to emerge 
ruby.  However, it comes up with this error:

>>> Verifying ebuild manifests

!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/dev-lang/ruby/ruby-1.8.7_p352.ebuild
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
!!! Got: 5574
!!! Expected: 5569

I've deleted the ebuild, then resync'ed twice with different mirrors and the 
error persists.  Another box I have (which does not come up with this error) 
shows:

$ ls -la /usr/portage/dev-lang/ruby/ruby-1.8.7_p352.ebuild 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5574 Oct 14 09:31 /usr/portage/dev-
lang/ruby/ruby-1.8.7_p352.ebuild

So, is 5574 the wrong size, or is the ebuild file in the latest sync'ing of 
portage wrong?
