It gives me this error message:

">>> No message digest entry found for archive"default-skin-0.1.tar.bz2."
!!! Type "ebuild foo.ebuild digest" to generate a new digest."

And when I type that it says:

"!!! doebuild: foo.ebuild not found."

I did a search for foo.ebuild but it's not on my HD...any advice?

"foo" is a generic placeholder syllable frequently used in UNIX documentation. In this case, you must replace "foo" with the name of the actual ebuild in question that has no digest file. In this case, probably /usr/portage/media-video/mplayer/mplayer-version.ebuild. (replace "version" with the version you're trying to install)

It works for me too! :) All the time I tried to make an 'ebuild foo.ebuild digest' with the default-skin.tar.bz2 package, 'cause thats sayd the error message. Ok, but you have to do it with the main-package... thx rac
