Hello.

I update several machines every month.  This month, most of the
machines
needed to update more than 300 packages.  But one, which isn't any
different than the others, has 0 to update, after running --sync.

Does anybody have an explanation for that?


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


Yes!  It did!  It does, every time!  But why?  I have enough disk
space...

<https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1085556-start-0.html>

lists various possible causes, all of which involve complicated or
expensive fixes:

 1. with "hard-links"
 2. without "hard-links"
 3. /usr/portage is corrupted (/var/db/repos/gentoo in my case, I guess)
 4. rsync-excludes?
 5. use a different mirror (but it works for other machines)

Is there a consensus in the mean time?



Here's the error:

 * Verifying /var/db/repos/gentoo/.tmp-unverified-download-quarantine
...!!! Manifest verification failed:
Manifest mismatch for metadata/Manifest.gz
  __size__: expected: 3019, have: 3011

I diffed the two metadata/Manifest.gz files, here as a png to retain the
spacing.

I'm not sure what __size__ is being displayed there.
