When you get a error message similar to this:

>>>emerge (1 of 1) category/package to /
!!! File is corrupt or incomplete (digests do not match)
>>> our recorded digest XXXXXXX
>>> your file's digest XXXXXXX

Try

delete corrupt file in /usr/portage/distfiles, reemerge
if that fails, emerge sync, reemerge
if that fails, and you are sure the source of the downloaded file is trustworthy do a

ebuild /path/to/ebuild digest

and re-emerge. This will re-digest the file with the current one you have on your system, this is garenteed to remove the warning. But when doing this make sure the file you have is trustworthy, by digesting it you have deemed it trustworthy for your system.
