When I emerge lilypond, it stops with this error:

This is MetaPost, Version 0.993 (Web2C 7.5.6) (INIMP)

(/var/tmp/portage/media-sound/lilypond-2.11.50/work/lilypond-2.11.50/mf/mf2pt1.
mp
! I can't find file `mfplain'.
l.27 input mfplain
                  ;
Please type another input file name: 


I have to emerge texlive-metapost to resolve the problem.
So the question is: Why texlive-metapost is not a dependency of lilypond (or
texlive) if it's necessary?

Reproducible: Always

Right, I think because I still have app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r6 installed which
provides /usr/share/texmf/metapost/base/mfplain.mp.

I have exactly the same problem with all versions
>=media-sound/lilypond-2.11.50

emerging dev-texlive/texlive-metapost soleves it.

Adding dev-texlive/texlive-metapost to dependencies solved it for me too...

"Or" in RDEPEND would be nice. 
 || ( dev-texlive/texlive-metapost
      app-text/tetex )
or something. It seems that there has been a dep for virtual/tetex which has
been commented out (virtual/ doesn't have tetex anymore) but replacement-dep
hasn't been added.
This bug applies for lilypond-2.11.56 (and lilypond-2.11.52, perhaps for
lilypond-2.11.51) too.

Also for lilypond 2.11.58. This is from a fresh install so there were no old
teTex packages laying around either. :-)

What about lilypond-2.12.1? Can't use tetex and lilypond?

 Migrate to TeXLive.
