If the repository was broken, it would be affecting a lot more people
than just you.
Have you tried completely removing your portage tree and reinstating it
with webrsync?
This is a fresh install from a minimal cd image. I'm starting out with
mkfs. I've tried that 3 times, twice using a stage 3 from 2020/01/08
and once using a stage 3 from 2020/01/12.
Thus, in answer to your question, yes, I've always removed the portage
tree (and everything else).
I've always used emerge --sync rather than webrsync because I always
like to use the smallest hammer possible. But if you say I should use
webrsync rather than emerge --sync, I have no other hint.
Is this the proper list to be on?
It's the Gentoo User list, which seems to fit.
