I don't understand why that happens but truly said I have no time to investigate at the very moment. I could in some while but maybe you will get it immediately why is it so. ;-) Gentoo installs into FHS locations. I used to have /usr/athena created manually by kth-krb package and /usr/heimdal provided by heimdal. I mean these were created by manual install, not by install of Gentoo ebuilds of those. Somehow, openrc installs manpages into /usr/athena/man/. I will attach full output.

Created attachment 155489 [details] /usr/athena/ contents Actually, it seems I have already removed in the past /usr/athena, so looks like openrc created the directory structure for me.

It's because you have MANDIR set in your environment - you should unset that.
But the files are automatically generated and second, why doesn't that affect any other packages?
OpenRC has a BSD style install system which respects user defined locations, of which MANDIR is one. Most packages in portage use GNU autotools to define package locations so would not be affected. However, the question we should be asking is why athena wants to set MANDIR in the first place?
Your info pages will also be screwed up for packages using a BSD style make system.
But this isn't an issue in the pkg.
Unfortunately it is not clear to me why do I have set the MANPATH variable. As I have shown it is not set in /etc/profile. I see it now. One of the things I do not like that packages during uninstall leave in place files in e.g. /etc/init.d/ and /etc/conf.d, like openafs*, kth-krb (should be gone from portage now), and others. Anyway, here is what has happened: # grep athena /etc/env.d/* /etc/env.d/02kth-krb:PATH=/usr/athena/bin /etc/env.d/02kth-krb:ROOTPATH=/usr/athena/sbin /etc/env.d/02kth-krb:LDPATH=/usr/athena/lib /etc/env.d/02kth-krb:MANDIR=/usr/athena/man /etc/env.d/02kth-krb:INFODIR=/usr/athena/info # ls -la /etc/env.d/02kth-krb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 118 Sep 27 2006 /etc/env.d/02kth-krb # I propose to have openrc resistant against such cases by unsetting MANPATH and other variables. Or, at least scan through /etc/env.d/ and highlight possibly unused files. Or would it better to have etc-update to this kind of checks?

Or would it better to have etc-update to this kind of checks? > It wouldn't just be MANPATH, it's be a lot of environment variables. It also wouldn't just be OpenRC it'd be a lot of packages. Additionally, the Package Management Spec allows many things to be overridden via the environment. Crafting this to be selective in allowing what you want to be overriden and what you don't on a per package basis would be insane from a work standpoint and impractical to maintain.
I have deleted the /etc/env.d/02kth-krb file and re-run env-update but that did not re-create /etc/profile.csh whereas /etc/csh.env was rewritten. So I deleted /etc/profile.csh. Still would like to know what should I have done instead of removing it and why I have the file in the first place when I only use bash. ;-)
Per comment #10: Still I think something should warn users that files not owned by any package exist in /etc/env.d/. I understand users are free to create files there but for most a warning would tell them some forgotten&unused files exist in there.
