>>> Generating digest file...
<<< abiword-2.1.8.tar.bz2
!!! Given file does not appear to be readable. Does it exist?
!!! File: /usr/portage/distfiles/abiword-2.1.8.tar.bz2
>>> emerge (1 of 1) app-office/abiword-2.1.8 to /
>>> Downloading http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/distfiles/abiword-2.1.8.tar.bz2

...blah blah...

10:41:12 (53.73 KB/s) - `/usr/portage/distfiles/abiword-2.1.8.tar.bz2' saved [23484136/23484136]

!!! No package digest file found: 
/usr/local/bmg/app-office/abiword/files/digest-abiword-2.1.8
!!! Type "ebuild foo.ebuild digest" to generate it.

=========================
But if the file is already downloaded, it works fine:

mightymax abiword # emerge --digest abiword
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> Generating digest file...
<<< abiword-2.1.8.tar.bz2
>>> Generating manifest file...
etc etc

=========================
Also worth noting is that this worked just fine before, so it's a recent portage update that has broken it.

That is not the purpose of that undocumented option.

So, what is the purpose?  And why not document it? :)
