They are. If the package has just been added to the tree they may not have |
| 6 |
reached your mirror yet. If that is not the reason then it is probably a bug. |

The official mirror should be in the ebuild to tell the mirrors where to |
| 8 |
fetch it from and as a backup if it cannot be found on the Gentoo mirrors. |

As long as you don't override a digest verification error you are safe. Beware |
| 16 |
of those who tell you to override a digest verification error by running: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
# ebuild $ebuild digest |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
or: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
# emerge --digest $pkg |
| 23 |
