 |

Hello All,
I try to update my nordvpn package but I get this error message :
| Code: | [ebuild U ~] net-vpn/nordvpn-3.20.2::nordvpn [3.20.1::nordvpn] 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] yes

The sync of the nordvpn repository is OK:
| Code: |
emaint sync --repo nordvpn
>>> Syncing repository 'nordvpn' into '/var/db/repos/nordvpn'...
/usr/bin/git fetch origin --depth 1
remote: Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 (from 0)
/usr/bin/git reset --hard refs/remotes/origin/master
HEAD is now at 5292572 2025-05-11 07:39:39 UTC

I removed the ebuild in /var/db/repos/nordvpn/net-vpn/nordvpn and resynced again the repository but the error persist.
I understand that the BLAKE2B checksum of the ebuild is different that expecting.
How can I fix this issue ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Smokyrun

smokyrun,
Mirror updates are not atomic, if you hit the mirror at the same time as its updating this happens.
It's a feature of non atomic updates. Sync again.
It may be that the maintainer didn't update the digest. That's a bug.
If that happened, the sync above will not fix it.
You can force the digest to match, which removes a safety/security feature of portage.
If effect you are saying you know better than portage and everything is really ok.
To do that run | Code: | | ebuild /full/path/to/ebuild/file digest |
Better to report the bug and wait for a fix.

Hello NeddySeagoon,
Thank you so much for your help and your explanations, I understand better now.
Very interessting this command | Code: | | ebuild /var/db/repos/nordvpn/net-vpn/nordvpn/nordvpn-3.20.2.ebuild digest |
I succeeded to upgrade my nordvpn package.
Now everything is ok on my system.
Have a nice day.
Kind regards,
smokyrun |

| Prior to overriding the digest check, how did you determine that the incorrect digest is a spurious error? Did you report this to the NordVPN overlay maintainer, or find evidence that someone else already reported it? If not, your next sync will likely reset you to the mismatched digest. |

Hello Hu,
Thank you for your reply, I've just send an email to NordVPN overlay maintainer, as I overrided the digest check how can I be sure now that my NordVPN respository contents the good checksum for next synchronisations ?
Kind regards,

| Synchronizing will, by definition, reset your files to what the overlay provides. If what the overlay maintainer provides is wrong, then yes, synchronizing will get you a bad checksum. |

The maintainer have just confirmed to me that the overlay is wrong because he omitted to tell the merge of the source branch to the main branch of the Gitlab environnment.
