And by running emerge --digest <target> or ebuild <target.ebuild> digest |
| 10 |
screws the digest system, because it substitutes the values you got from |
| 11 |
the portage mirror with the values from the files on your computer. It |
| 12 |
destroys any safety that the digest system offers. |

So if someone has broken into your system and screwed around with the |
| 15 |
portage tree so that when you install sylpheed-claws it does something |
| 16 |
nasty, running the digest command will allow that to happen. |

If the digests are wrong find out what the problem is! |
