app-emulation/vice uses the mkfontdir tool as part of the installation process, but the ebuild doesn't depend on it. So, if mkfontdir isn't already installed when vice is emerged, the emerge will fail like this: --- 8< --- (...) /bin/install -c -m 644 vice-cbm.bdf /var/tmp/portage/vice-1.20/image//usr/games/lib/vice/fonts/vice-cbm.bdf Preparing fontdir... /bin/sh: line 2: bdftopcf: command not found /bin/sh: line 4: mkfontdir: command not found make[2]: *** [install] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vice-1.20/work/vice-1.20/data/fonts' make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vice-1.20/work/vice-1.20/data' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 !!!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. --- 8< --- Manually installing x11-apps/mkfontdir and emerging vice again makes it work. So, all that has to be done to fix this bug is to make the vice ebuild depend on mkfontdir.
Fixed, thanks.
Preparing fontdir... /bin/sh: line 2: bdftopcf: command not found /bin/sh: line 4: mkfontdir: command not found make[2]: *** [install] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vice-1.17/work/vice-1.17/data/fonts' make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vice-1.17/work/vice-1.17/data' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 !!! ERROR: app-emulation/vice-1.17 failed. looks like it isn't fixed in any stable version, this affects x86 and ppc as far as I can tell.
fixed again
