when trying to emerge the current ircservices (net-irc/ircservices-5.0.53) it fails with this error message: mv: cannot stat `/var/tmp/portage/ircservices-5.0.53/image//var/lib/ircservices/modules': No such file or directory Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =net-irc/ircservices-5.0.53 2. 3. Actual Results: Compiled them successfully. I could not make out intermediate problems. I'll post the build log anyway.

Here is the solution: somehow the compilation process doesn't generate the modules directory in the expected way (i manually compiled that package). Removing the mv and ln commands in the installation function from the ebuild makes the packages work again.
please post the complete output of the merge

Please give it a test, I added a patch that might fix it.

Didn't help. See the attached emerge log.
ok, but the original error is fixed. the other error should be fixed now too
