Thanks, that explains a lot.

I have been deleting the tarball, to regenerate the error sequence.

This didn't help, it just went thru the same sequence again. Now its
morning (I think better in the morning, and I notice:
ftp://ftp.oregonstate.edu/pub/gentoo/distfiles/perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz
ftp://lug.mtu.edu/gentoo/source/distfiles/perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/distfiles/perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz
have a size of 4611 while
ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo/distfiles/perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz
has a size of 4954.

I'm not sure what I'm filing a bug on, it seems to be a problem with
the ebuild to me,
expecting a different size to the size of the tarball, however I'm no expert.

where does the 4954 come from?

I tried the emerge again with no joy.

I would skip perl-cleaner but I want to upgrade portage, and its a dependent:
# emerge --oneshot -auDbv portage

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
