[gentoo-dev] SHA256 digest issues

[Marien Zwart]

As reported in bug 131293 a pycrypto bug caused a lot of digest and
Manifest files to be created with bogus sha256 hashes. A fixed
pycrypto (2.0.1-r5) was committed to the tree. This means the
following:

- If you run ~arch portage and the latest pycrypto you will hit digest
  failures. You will hit fewer digest failures as packages are fixed.
- If you run ~arch portage and do not upgrade pycrypto you will hit
  more and more digest issues as stuff is fixed.
- If you run stable portage you are not affected.

If you commit to the tree with an unfixed pycrypto you can add new
broken digests, so please do not do that.

We (portage project) are fixing known broken Manifests/digests. If you
come across any broken SHA256 digests feel free to fix them though:
the package is basically unusable with ~arch portage until it is
fixed, and fixing it twice does not really hurt :)

Apologies for the inconvenience.
