Portage 2.0.25: I've successfully emerged mod_php. At the end, it tells me to run "ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-php/mod_php-4.2.2/mod_php-4.2.2.ebuild config", which I did. In earlier versions, this worked perfectly, but now it complains and exits: !!! No message digest file found: /var/db/pkg/dev-php/mod_php-4.2.2/files/digest-mod_php-4.2.2 !!! Type "ebuild foo.ebuild digest" to generate a digest.
I can confirm this as well. I'm not sure, but it seems(?) like the commands are being executed, at least for mod_ssl.
