12 Sorry, I should have said that I tried ebuild too and it failed just
13 the same (that's why I also tried emerge, just in case):
14
15 % ebuild ltmodem-8.22.1.5.ebuild digest
16 !!! doebuild: /usr/portage/src/ltmodem/ltmodem-8.22.1.5.ebuild not found.
17 portage: aux_get(): (1) couldn't open cache entry for src/ltmodem-8.22.1.5
18 (likely caused by syntax error or corruption in the src/ltmodem-8.22.1.5 ebuild.)
19 portage: doebuild(): aux_get() error; aborting.

21 I don't understand why it is looking for src/ltmodem-8.22.1.5. where
22 does the "src" come from?

30 Ah!!! this actually worked. Apparently being embedded in an
31 appropriate portage directory structure is important. Thanks very
32 much.
