Nagios emerge fails (No package digest found)

The directory (/usr/portage/net-analyzer/nagios/files/) is missing?
All ready tried emerge sync directory still missing.
Not sure what ebuild foo.ebuild digest does? but that aren't working
either. Any ideas? I guess I could download the tar.gz package and isntall
manually.

Thanks,
Graham

I just had to do this on two machines when upgrading from nagios 1.0-r1 to nagios 1.1... Had not had any problems previously.

Is this some sort of bug?

Yes, it is. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22852

I think that doing the ebuild ... digest is a dangerous habit to get into, especially for a package like nagios that is run as root and doing all sorts of system-related stuff, and relied on in event of an attack... Awesome place for a trojan!

another problem arises on first time emerging of nagios.
It doesn't know the users and group nagios.

I manually made them to make it work.
