32 What it is doing is correct. The package has been changed and portage
33 doesn't know if you did it or some random hacker. That said, man ebuild
34 and check out the manifest section. I have never done this but maybe it
35 will make sense to you.

37 Also, I think emerge used to have the --digest option. Basically it
38 tells emerge to skip checking the digest. I didn't see it in the man
39 page so it may not be there anymore.
