Weird portage Digest Errors???

I get these a lot, can anyone tell me what they mean and how to resolve them? They persist even after I do an emerge update...

I got the same error while trying to compile wine because the file on the mirror i used (ftp://ftp.easynet.nl) was corrupt.

i solved the problem by deleting /usr/portage/distfiles/wine-20030911-misc.tar.bz2 an re-downloading it from http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/distfiles/wine-20030911-misc.tar.bz2

emerge -V gives, (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.20-gentoo-r5)

I am having various portage errors. Perhaps I am just a Gentoo newb (I have been using it for almost a year now, but I admit I haven't dug deeply into the intracacies of the portage system).

I am getting digest errors on quite a few ebuilds, also failure to download dependencies. Is this normal, seems to only be happening recently to me with a new laptop I setup.

So I guess the question is, is this a normal problem and I just haven't run it to it much before? Can I just manually install the portion of the dependencies for an ebuild (my guess is that portage wants to see the actual ebuild installed and not just the fileset for the dependency) Can I tell portage to just skip the dependency that is failing? (since I know I wont be using that portion of the code anyway...)

What about these ebuilds where no mirrors seem to be finding the file?
Is it just that the ebuilds get stale as far as the location for the download?

For the pdf.c problem, I know that I wont be using that code so I decided to just put a stub package in by using emerge inject. Perhaps there is a better way to get around an ebuild dependency, but this is the first thing I found from going thru the man pages....

emerge -f just forces it to download all the dependencies without actually doing anything.

The problem with libnet appears to be that the MD5's don't match. It downloads it just fine, so probably the tarball has been changed recently. What I am trying to emerge is tcptraceroute, which appears to have a dependency on an older version of libnet. When I emerge the latest libnet, tcptraceroute still attempts to get the older version which has the MD5 digest mismatch.

I am about to abandon the emerge process for tcptraceroute and just install the damned libnet and tcptraceroute source, then compile it manually. I like hping2 also, but sometimes it's nice to have the older tcptraceroute on hand.

I also had the same problem with mplayer.
