Description Dwight Tuinstra 2004-04-03 15:02:47 UTC

The nessus ebuild appears to be missing its digest, as suggested by the following transcript. This transcript was taken a few moments ago, immediately after an 'emerge sync'. Similar results have obtained over the past 24 hours.

I would not normally mark a missing digest as having severity "major", but the importance and prevalence of nessus make it cause for concern. A search in the forums and bugzilla for "nessus digest" came up empty, so this may be recent.

skipper root # emerge nessus -pv
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

The nessus ebuild has no digest, because the nessus package does not have any files but its ebuild and digest file. Its only job is to depend on nessus-libraries, libnasl, nessus-core and nessus-plugins with the correct versions. So its just correct that the digest is empty. 

Still good to know someone keeps his eyes open :-)
