I've had this problem for quite awhile, and it keeps showing up on every drop
of sys-apps/man.
emerge sys-apps/man with USE="nls" places a non-executable file as /usr/bin/man
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.USE="nls" emerge man
2./usr/bin/man
3.
Actual Results:
$ man man
-bash: /usr/bin/man: Permission denied
I've had this problem for quite a while.
I believe the bug occurs in the install phase of the Makefile (specifically the
make install in the msgs directory). The "man" executable in .../work/../src
directory is okay after an ebuild compile, but the file that is moved into the
.../image/usr/bin directory loses it's executable bit and is not even an
executable.

I believe the problem might be related to either LANG="en_US" or LC_ALL="en_US"
(I haven't dug that deep into the config / makefiles)
Here is where the error is being introduced..
USE="nls" ebuild man-1.6e-r3.ebuild install > /tmp/ebuild.err
then selecting some lines from the /tmp/ebuild.err
....
make[2]: Leaving directory

cd msgs; make install

install -c -m 644 mess.bg.cat

this is repeated for each of the mess.xx.cat files. This is overwriting
/usr/bin/man
Yes -- I did have a stray NLSPATH set (I had at onetime an app that required
NLSPATH to be set -- app has since changed and doesn't need it set anymore --
so on my system at least I can safely unset NLSPATH). Setting NLSPATH to ""
does correct the install problem.
One suggestion if having NLSPATH set is going to cause the building of man to
have problems, a QA check might be helpful in the ebuild to flag it.
Thanks for the help.
