Bug 59561 – gnome-light-2.6.ebuild has empty/missing/bad digest

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description bloated.inbox 2004-08-05 14:55:46 UTC]

When I use emerge -pv gnome-light, instead of seeing which USE flags are enabled, I get a [empty/missing/bad digest] message.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pv gnome-light
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
I got this as output (with dependancies left out):

[ebuild  N    ] ...
[ebuild  N    ] ...
[ebuild  N    ] gnome-base/gnome-light-2.6   [empty/missing/bad digest]



Expected Results:  
I should have been able to review which USE flags were enabled/availabe.

This is OK. gnome-light is a meta-package consisting only of dependencies that
need to be merged to have a lightweight installation of the GNOME desktop. It
doesn't install any files, so the digest file is empty and it doesn't have any
USE flags.
