The emerge fails after the unpack. The ebuild wants to apply patch that's not in the ebuild. Manual adding of the patch in the ebuild doesn't help, it's not on the mirrors. >>> md5 src_uri ;-) mod_auth_external-2.2.7.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking mod_auth_external-2.2.7.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/mod_auth_external-2.2.7/work * Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!

the missing patch seems to be this one : http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=29879&action=view
Fixed in cvs, thanks for the bug report.
ebuild still doesn't work: The patch doesn't get downloaded. Same error as reported. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mod_auth_external
see bug 52029 for a patch
It works now. I suggest closing this one. Sorry about my comments, I didn't realize the patch comes with the source, the 2.2.3 ebuild was different here.
Already fixed in cvs.
