You may want to re-sync.  Sometimes that works and is easy enough to do.
I guess files sort of cross paths and don't match.  Otherwise, check man
emerge.  There is a way to redigest the file.  Only do this if you trust
the source tho.  The reason for that check is to make sure you get a
unaltered file.

You could also try downloading from a different server too.  Could be
that the file is bad or corrupt in some way.
