[gentoo-user] RE: [Gentoo-user] emerge problem.

Daniel,

Right now mirroring is of secondary concern. Nothing I have done so far
will allow me to install new packages. I always get the md5 verification
error.

I tried the FEATURES="-strict" but that didn't help.

Does portage use md5sum to compute the hash? Either the local md5sum has a bug,
the hash from the mirror is wrong, or there is a bug in the script.

I think the problem started when I ran the repcacheman from http-replicator.

I would really like to get back to where I was.

thanks

Portage uses md5sum to check the integrity of the file. This error
occur when you try to use a replicated copy of the distfile or
whenever you emerge something? Even downloading it from an official
mirror? If so, well, then I'm lost...
