12 Right, I tried that already, but I can wait a bit longer and resync again.
13 With regards to filing a bug, I spoke to Thomas Sachau and he can't reproduce

31 somehow unique digest mechanism. I really don't understand how this can be
32 happening, especially when I removed the whole /var/lib/layman/enlightenment/*
33 tree on the dodgy PC and resync'ed.
