I doubt that there is an advantage in pre-caching, all you are doing is |
| 11 |
taking time from the sync process and adding it to another process, but I |
| 12 |
also doubt that has anything to do with your problems. |

That's the rub, they are present here, so something is interfering with |
| 18 |
your downloading of these patch files. Do you have any entries in |
| 19 |
make.conf that would modify rsync behaviour? Try |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
emerge --info -v | grep -i sync |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Also, what do you have in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf? |

It detected corruption of your portage tree, if files don't match the |
| 37 |
manifests all sorts of unpleasant consequences are possible, so aborting |
| 38 |
seems a safe option. Rather than trying to work around the issue, try to |
| 39 |
find the cause. If the files are not on Github, file a bug report. If |
| 40 |
they are, find out why rsync is not downloading them on your system but |
| 41 |
is on others. |

If this problem was widespread, you would have had a chorus of "me too" |
| 44 |
replies and b.g.o would be full of reports - you did check b.g.o? |
