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-*/*
I wondered if it might be something like that.
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?
As long as it only fails on verification of games-* I don't see a
problem, unless you are relying on a zero return code from emerge
--sync.
Does gasmes-* still take a long time to sync? I wouldn't have thought
there would be a lot of changes in there compared with other sections,
such as kde-*.
I got the same issue and it doesn't depend on games*. Verification fails
at the first excluded category in the order listed in the metamanifest.
