Successfully emerge'd ng-spice-rework on 2005-Dec-07. Updated portage to 2.1_pre2. Attempted to rebuild ng-spice-rework; portage's dodoc fails.

If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
Created attachment 75658 [details, diff] Proposed patch to ng-spice-rework-17.ebuild This is a work-around. Can't tell whether its an ebuild bug or a dodoc bug. There may be a better solution in another recent bug against ng-spice-rework.
dodoc used to error in the past when files were blank but did exist (I think that's probably fixed quite a few Portage revisions ago) but this is a genuine case of does not exist... Fixed, thanks :]
