Hi, There's a simple logic error in taskjuggler-2.2.0.ebuild, in the src_install rule. The script says: use kde && \ cd Contrib/kate && \ make install DESTDIR=${D} || die "install kate-addons failed" I think what you meant was: use && (cd && (make || die)) But what it seems to do is: ((use && cd) && make) || die Or it might be: if(use) { cd && make } else { die } In any case, the USE flag isn't set, and the die message "install kate-addons failed" is emitted, with no other error message. Took a while to figure out where the problem was. I'll supply a patch in a subsequent comment, as well as build logs (failure and success).

Created attachment 94815 [details, diff] Fix the ebuild's USE-flag logic I think you want it to die if the build fails, not if the USE-flag isn't set. So, here's a patch to fix it.
Created attachment 94816 [details] build failure log This is what the build failure looks like.
Created attachment 94817 [details] build success log With the patch applied, build succeeds to completion.
Patch in Comment #1 Works for Me (tm), thanks.
In cvs. Thanks for your help.
