When emerging dev-python/virtualenv-1.9.1-r1, the build failed with the error: install: cannot stat ?docs/index.txt docs/news.txt?: No such file or directory !!! dodoc: docs/index.txt docs/news.txt does not exist Reading the ebuild + eclass, it appears the DOCS variable should have been an array, not a string. Changing the variable allows the installation to finish successfully. I'll attach a patch for the fix.

Created attachment 356760 [details, diff] Patch to fix installation Fixes the build.
I'm curious why the severity got downgraded. By the explanation of the severity levels "A major feature is broken." makes a lot more sense then "It's a bug that should be fixed." We can't even install it, that seems like a major bug.
