Some time back I saw someone mention a way to get emerge to install an ebuild with a bad digest - man emerge shows nothing so can someone give me a hint. It was much easier than going down the ebuild path.
Also, I am in the process of rescuing a system from the e2fs/util-linux/device-mapper snafu and find that now I have it booted re-emerging util-linux wont overwrite the files I manually installed to replace the missing ones - necessitating manually rm'ing some 50 or so files - is there a way to force emerge to ignore file collisions and just overwrite them in this circumstance?
