Trying to build ~x86 apache, ran across the following problem. I tried rebuilding apr to no effect. ... checking whether to enable mod_access... shared checking whether to enable mod_auth... shared checking whether to enable mod_auth_anon... shared checking whether to enable mod_auth_dbm... shared checking whether to enable mod_auth_digest... checking dependencies You need APR random support to use mod_auth_digest.

Does either /dev/random or /dev/urandom exist on your system ? APR should, when configured, automatically detect one of those node by-default, afaik.
I've committed two rev bumps (apr-0.9.5-r2 and 0.9.6-r2) that are hard-masked. Can you emerge --sync, add '=dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r2' to /etc/portage/package.unmask, emerge =dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r2 and then emerge =net-www/apache-2.0.53 again and see if it helps ? If they do, and once I've verified that these changes won't break apps, I'll unmask them.
> Does either /dev/random or /dev/urandom exist on your system ? Both of those exist on my system. Both are readable only by root:root. Since I haven't configured these specifically, I imagine that most people have similarly configured systems. crw-rw---- 1 root root 1, 8 Feb 23 06:13 /dev/random crw-rw---- 1 root root 1, 9 Feb 23 06:14 /dev/urandom > emerge =dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r2 and then emerge =net-www/apache-2.0.53 again # emerge apr apache -pv These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

<@vapier> if /dev/{random,urandom} are not a+r, then your system is broken
