Would you mind testing with a stable version of Portage? I've seen someone in
the Forums who had a similar problem...

yeah, using stable portage works fine

Portage folks: can you comment on why this happens?

Here is comix's src_install():

src_install() {
        dodir usr
        python install.py install --no-mime --installdir "${D}"usr 1>/dev/null
        insinto /usr/share/mime/packages/
        doins "${S}"/mime/comix.xml
        insinto /etc/gconf/schemas/
        doins "${S}"/mime/comicbook.schemas
        dobin "${S}"/mime/comicthumb
        dodoc ChangeLog README
}

Thanks,
Marcelo

Please use the alias...

The problem is a difference in the behavior of dodir.  With current 2.1, it
works with `dodir /usr` (the only difference is the leading slash).  With
`dodir usr`, the directory is not created but dodir still returns 0.  This is
related to bug 121317.

Confirmed.

I had to change dodir usr to dodir /usr to safely install on my ~x86
installation

Fixed in cvs, thanks!
