I got a similar list about all my installed packages. The reason is that the Manifest files have changed. Before there was a digest for each ebuild in a category, as can be seen here : https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo-portage-rsync-mirror/blob/master/kde-base/knotes/Manifest Now there is only the digests for source files https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/kde-base/knotes/Manifest > > Can I take that "just saying" above back and say FUBAR instead? :-( > > Thoughts?? > > Dale Either the Manifest generator encountered a problem, or the digest for ebuilds is not necessary in new versions of portage, but the latter is less likely in my opinion as it would lower overall security. I didn't find a bug about this subject, but I don't really know what and where to search... Who could we ask for more insight into that strange behavior ? Best regards Mickaël Bucas
