Description Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-24 00:44:15 UTC
After removing some older packages out of the vim directory... I get the
following error:

root@trolocsis portage # emerge vim
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge app-editors/vim-6.1-r8 to /
!!! No message digest found for .
!!! Type "ebuild foo.ebuild digest" to generate a digest.
!!! emerge aborting on  /usr/portage/app-editors/vim/vim-6.1-r8.ebuild .

I tried:
    emerge --clean rsync
     emerge vim
and it worked fine.

I think this is just on my box after the database/cache was made, but I could be
totally wrong.
There _are_ digests found in the files/ folder, the error message is a little
misleading.

I clarified the merge output to make this error more clear.  Not a real fix, but
will hopefully allow us to track down more information the next time the bug is
encountered.
