media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r2 installs files README, TODO, and VERSION both in /usr/share/doc/tiff-3.8.2 and in /usr/share/doc/tiff-3.8.3-r2.
I think a reasonable fix is to add to the econf: --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/${PF}
(In reply to comment #0) > /usr/share/doc/tiff-3.8.2 and in /usr/share/doc/tiff-3.8.3-r2. The last directory should be tiff-3.8.2-r2, of course. Sorry about the typo. Any news about this issue, BTW?
finally fixed in media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r3.
