Description:   Opened: 2008-08-06 08:11 0000 
Having enabled "doc" in make.conf USE flags,
emerge compiles fine, but installing DOC fails:
...
  Building the voice extensions
...
  Installing the voice extensions
...
dodoc: doc/mgetty.ps does not exist    <---

Specifying "-doc" in /etc/portage/package.use,
emerge without DOC succeeds.

Please post your `emerge --info' and attach the build log.

Seems to be a missing dep on whatever provides dvips (on a system here, that's
app-text/texlive-core and the dodoc mgetty.ps doesn't fail here).

Tex team, please advise. The way I see it, it could be solved easily by
replacing virtual/latex-base dependency atom with app-text/texlive-core.

(quick answer because I'm leaving for some days really soon, should be gone by
now)

It seems more it should depend virtual/texi2dvi, it uses it to build mgetty.dvi
(which is then used to get the .ps). See bug #230473

By the way, please don't make anything depend on texlive-core unless you have a
*very* good reason to do so, use tex-base if you need only tex/kpathsea or
latex-base if you need a latex compiler. texlive-core is a subset of both
tex-base and latex-base anyway.


As a side note, while you're at it, please export VARTEXFONTS=${T}/fonts before
calling any latex stuff, it might want to build some fonts on minimal installs
and cause sandbox violations if this is not set (and even if it does not need
any other font, it doesn't hurt to set the variable)

Since I don't know nothing about latex and its friends, I prefer to let you
guys deal with this. Fix this bug in any way you see fit (even removing the doc
flag). Just don't bump the revision.

dep added, should be good now

it seems I read too quickly the ebuild for the VARTEXFONTS stuff, as it was
already there in the ebuild :)
