There is a typo in the ebuild and other problems. From pkg_install() : newpamd "${FILESDIR}/saslauthd.pam-include" saslauthd newinitd "${FILESDIR}pwcheck.rc6" pwcheck || \ die "failed to install pwcheck to /etc/init.d" There is a missing / in the above, between "${FILESDIR}" and "pwcheck.rc6". I get the following error after the above is fixed : ...

Ok, you've added the /, but I still get the other error mentioned in the report : install: cannot create regular file `/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-r3/image//etc/conf.d/': Is a directory
I can't reproduce it. It is working fine here: ---8<--- /bin/install -c -m 644 ./saslauthd.8 /var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-r3/image//usr/share/man/cat8 /saslauthd.8 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-r3/work/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20/saslauthd' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-r3/work/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20/saslauthd' make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-r3/work/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20' make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-r3/work/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-r3/work/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-r3/work/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20' man: gzipping man page: saslauthd.8 gzipping man page: sasl_listmech.3 ---8<--- Cheers, Ferdy
> Portage 1.589-cvs Please "downgrade" to portage ~x86 then try again. Also see bug #69896 if it is related to your problem.
Good point. The fix mentioned in comment 7 of the bug you linked resolved my problem.
Marking as closed.
