Thanks Neil, when on my LAN I use one PC as a local mirror, when away I use public gentoo mirrors. The verification is failing when sync'ing with either. Your pointer for RSYNC* proved useful. At some point in the past I must have decided rsync was taking an awful long time sync'ing the games directories. Since I don't emerge or play games I had added this entry in my make.conf: $ grep RSYNC_ /etc/make.conf PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES="3" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes" $ cat /etc/portage/rsync_excludes games-*/* Once I commented this option out the verification succeeded. So ... this verification problem seems to be caused by my intentional exclusion of games from sync'ing. Does this mean I won't be able to exclude games hereafter if I want to verify portage's contents, or is there a different approach required? -- Regards, Mick
