 After an emerge --sync that appeared to work with no problems, my
 "emerge -auvND world" command is reporting that the Changelong files
 are broken for about 2/3 of the packages it wants to update:

 The dev are doing some $MAGIC to reinstate ChangeLogs and the first run
 is expected to take a while (i.e. several hours). I suppose you can
 expect some breakage till it finishes.

 It's being discussed and tracked on gentoo-dev, you can drop a mail
 there with specifics to
let the devs know what's happening.

Three days later.  I'm still getting this error message, but with a nasty
twist in the tail.  emerge -puND @world reports (amongst others) the
following update:

    [ebuild   R    ] sys-apps/busybox-1.23.1-r1  USE="-pam*"

, and the error message I get on actually trying to start the update is

    !!! Digest verification failed:
    !!! /usr/portage/sys-apps/busybox/busybox-9999.ebuild
    !!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
    !!! Got: 8493
    !!! Expected: 8580

.  Why is the build system looking at the digest for version 9999 when it
should be rebuilding version 1.23.1-r1?
