app-emulation/vice uses the mkfontdir tool as part of the installation process,
but the ebuild doesn't depend on it. So, if mkfontdir isn't already installed
when vice is emerged, the emerge will fail like this:

Manually installing x11-apps/mkfontdir and emerging vice again makes it work.
So, all that has to be done to fix this bug is to make the vice ebuild depend
on mkfontdir.

looks like it isn't fixed in any stable version, this affects x86 and ppc as
far as I can tell.
