Oops, wrong bug.

I just wanted to comment on this bug. The ebuild is not installing code (or it is removing it). I looked at the ebuild and it seems to install the code but the last two lines, remove some files. I don't have the knowledge to know why, but just commenting out the two lines # rm -rf "${D}"/usr/bin/ # rm -rf "${D}"/usr/lib/ solved the problem for me. I thought that ${D} referred to the directory where the build takes place (?) /var/tmp/..... in my case.

No, it's where the files are intermittently installed to instead of the "live" filesystem - it would normally resolve to /var/tmp/portage/dev-python/visual/image. What these lines do is remove everything that would normally end up in /usr/bin and /usr/lib.
Added dev-python/visual-3.2.9-r1 to tree, solves this issue. Closing bug. Best regards,
