Installing my own application's german docs lets realize me that the directory /usr/kde/3.5/share/doc/HTML/de/common and its contents is missing. Even the kde-i18n german language pack docs (like amor located in /usr/kde/3.5/share/doc/HTML/de/amor/...) has a symlink pointing to the missing directory above. This is the reason why i wrote a bug item agains kde-i18 (de). Maybe other languages are also affected. Looking into the source package kde-i18n-de-3.5.2.tar.bz2 i see that there is really a common directory (with some files) existing. So i assume either the make system of this package or the ebuild is in error. emerge --info: Portage 2.1-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/lib64/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.rz.tu-bs.de/pub/mirror/ftp.gentoo.org/gentoo-distfiles/ " LANG="de_DE@euro" LINGUAS="de en" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/gentoo-de /usr/local/portage/gentopia /usr/local/portage/own" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aac acpi alsa apache2 arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bzip2 cdparanoia cdr cli crypt cups dbus dga dlloader dri dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode exif ffmpeg foomaticdb fortran ftp gif gimp gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal ieee1394 imagemagick imlib ipv6 isdnlog java javascript jikes jpeg kde kqemu lirc lm_sensors lzw lzw-tiff mad mime mng mozilla mp3 mp4 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcre pdf pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection scanner sdl session slp smartcard speex spell spl ssl subversion svg tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb v4l v4l2 vcd vdr vorbis wmf xml xml2 xorg xpm xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux linguas_de linguas_en lirc_devices_all userland_GNU video_cards_fbdev video_cards_fglrx video_cards_nv video_cards_radeon video_cards_v4l video_cards_vesa video_cards_vga video_cards_via" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
See upstream http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126311 According to upstream fixed in 3.5.3, additionally there's a workaround for this bug in kde-i18n-3.5.5.ebuild, starting line 43
Uh, no one cared, due to beng understaffed, sorry. Works for me here with 3.5.6,so...
