I update several machines every month. This month, most of
the machines <br>
needed to update more than 300 packages. But one, which
isn't any <br>
different than the others, has 0 to update, after running
--sync. <br>
<br>
Does anybody have an explanation for that? <br>

The manifest verification failed during emerge --sync and you
didn't <br>
notice it. Happens to me every time. <br>

disk space... <br>
