"dev-java/batik-1.8" stable ebuild installs dead symlinks in /usr/share/batik-1.8/lib/lib/ because ../ are missing to point to /usr/share/batik-1.8/lib/ existing jar files. QA reports on this problem.
+ 22 Jun 2015; Patrice Clement <monsieurp@gentoo.org> batik-1.7-r3.ebuild, + batik-1.8.ebuild: + Rework jars installation logic. Symlinking to lib/lib isn't necessary in this + version so let's do away with it. Fix bug 552830. + Thanks for the heads up. Give it another try.
