Could not find out which other package causes this, sorry. But I am sure I never touched this file, so it needs to belong to some others... ...maybe the set used while uninstalling is broken either locally or in general?

Are you installing this package for the first time? If you aren't, it might have been broken for uninstall. What do `ls /usr/share/fonts/unifont` and `epm -qf /usr/share/fonts/unifont/fonts` say? (epm is in app-portage/epm)
root@hoshino expose # epm -qf /usr/share/fonts/unifont/fonts.dir file /usr/share/fonts/unifont/fonts.dir is not owned by any package I was doing a tree rebuild. This means it was a re-emerge of unifont so it is hardly possible that there was a unclean uninstall...
Do you use xfs? the xfs init script (re)generates these files.
This bug is directly related to bug #70354. I suggest fixing font.eclass and using it in media-fonts/unifont, too.
Noone seems to work on that, bug #70354 is even closed.

Coming from Bug 142836, I don't understand why this bug is closed and marked as WONTFIX. I think that fonts ebuilds should regenerate the cache and shouldn't overwrite the ones you have in your machine. Could anybody explain me?
