[gentoo-user] timezone-data: missing digest for timezone-data-2010d.ebuild...

[Jarry]

Hi, today I got this strange message from portage:

obelix ~ # emerge --pretend --update --deep --newuse world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies | * Missing digest for 
'/usr/portage/sys-libs/timezone-data/timezone-data-2010d.ebuild'
... done!
obelix ~ #

As I understand, there is something wrong with timezone-data
package, so I tried to re-emerge it, and I got one more
strange message:

obelix ~ # emerge --oneshot timezone-data
Calculating dependencies | * Missing digest for 
'/usr/portage/sys-libs/timezone-data/timezone-data-2010d.ebuild'
... done!
>>> Verifying ebuild manifests
!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/sys-libs/timezone-data/ChangeLog
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
!!! Got: 28769
!!! Expected: 28591

What does it mean, and how can I fix it?

What it says, I should think.

emerge --sync and try again.

It means the maintainer of that package cocked up and did not redigest it 
after a new commit.

Wait one hour, re-sync, try again.

Failing that, open a bug and report a digest failure for the package.

For the brave, just redigest it yourself if you are certain all the fules you 
have for the package are legit: as root:

ebuild /path/to/any/ebuild/in/the/package.ebuild manifest
