Upon trying to test a fix and submit the ebuild to fix Bug #136836 , I came across a rather funny issue. It seems that when you run `ebuild <file>.ebuild digest`, it will not create the necessary files because of the fetch restriction. For this reason, I could never test the modified ebuild in my overlay. # ebuild mathematica-fonts-4.2-r1.ebuild digest !!! media-fonts/mathematica-fonts-4.2-r1 has fetch restriction turned on. !!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded !!! manually. See the comments in the ebuild for more information. * Please visit the homepage: * http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/windows/general/latestfonts.html * and download * http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/windows/general/files/MathFonts_TrueType_42.exe * Then just put the file in /usr/portage/distfiles # ll /usr/portage/distfiles/MathFonts_TrueType_42.exe -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 701K 2006-05-19 09:04 /usr/portage/distfiles/MathFonts_TrueType_42.exe ^ note that the file DOES exist I submitted the modified ebuild anyways, because it's TERRIBLY trivial, and this bug is notably the bigger issue of the two ;). I don't believe anything is relevant in my --info except the version info, but certainly nothing in my env.

The problem is that you also need to download MathFonts_Type1_42.exe (note the '1') but the pkg_nofetch() message from the ebuild doesn't tell you to.
