As far as I can tell, it means that the ebuild kde-base/kde is a virtual
package and doesn't actually have any files associated with it or a
download. It depends on all the various KDE packages and is just a
user-friendly method of installing all of KDE with one emerge command.

Its use is to easily do an upgrade/installation of (say) KDE / Gnome / etc.

Does anyone out there know what 

[ebuild  N    ] kde-base/kde-3.2.0   [empty/missing/bad digest]

means?

Google wasn't a whole lot of help...

It's not our fault, we're outnumbered by stupid people ten to one.
