Yes, I did an emerge sync against my local portage mirror which is updated every day, used by my other systems. |

I did it very early in the install process too; though I forget at exactly what step. I also did it a couple times thereafter after hitting the issue to see if it would correct it, but no luck. |

you can also use equery check to check all files which should be |
