Hi all.
I decided to get rid of fink and try portage on Tiger.
So I followed all the instructions, but on emerge system I get that

!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!! /usr/portage/distfiles/debianutils_2.13.1.tar.gz
!!! Reason: Failed on MD5 verification

then I try to ebuild debianutils-2.13.1-r1.ebuild digest, and retry emerge system, but then it tells me

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/debianutils-2.13.1-r1 failed.
!!! Function unpack, Line 373, Exitcode 2
!!! failure unpacking debianutils_2.13.1.tar.gz

Do I have to download directly the gzipped file??

The file is incomplete, so it's MD5 sum doesn't match the reference.
Trying to unpack it results in an error, that's another hint that the file is broken.

Solve the problem by deleting the file from /usr/portage/distfiles and 'emerge system' again. If it continuously doesn't work, try to download the file manually and move it to /usr/portage/distfiles.

Normally this doesn't happen. It could result from a timeout when the server is under heavy load, but if you experience this behaviour regularly, you should go hunting for that bug.

hth, tom

Thanks.
Indeed it kept not working until I downloaded manually the file.
Now it's going...

Good to hear that.

If this is not the only problematic package and the same issue occurs over and over again, I'd advise you to change the download mirror you're using to get the packages.

A description on how to proceed can be found here:
