19 No, it doesn't, on my system. Did you really check the files:
20 https://lists.gt.net/engine?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=51651;list=gentoo
21 https://lists.gt.net/engine?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=51652;list=gentoo
22 (these should download as eix-installed-after_1.gz former and eix-installed-after_2.gz the latter)?
23
24 And they have these SHA256:

29 If you did check those files, and there are the strings you say, at what
30 byte, the start, and the end... Really don't know how you got that...

40 And for easier insight into this plight of mine with these
41 inconsistencies/issues, I am about to send another, I hope much clearer
42 email --but no gzip issue in the new email, if gzip to discuss, pls,
43 this sub-thread should better be used-- I resend a different email
44 because I need the old quotes, removed in your reply...
45
46 Thanks for caring!
