43 Here's the error:
44
45  * Verifying /var/db/repos/gentoo/.tmp-unverified-download-quarantine
46 ...!!! Manifest verification failed:
47 Manifest mismatch for metadata/Manifest.gz
48   __size__: expected: 3019, have: 3011
49
50 I diffed the two metadata/Manifest.gz files, here as a png to retain the
51 spacing.
52
53 I'm not sure what __size__ is being displayed there.
