Having enabled "doc" in make.conf USE flags, emerge compiles fine, but installing DOC fails: ... Building the voice extensions ... Installing the voice extensions ... dodoc: doc/mgetty.ps does not exist <--- Specifying "-doc" in /etc/portage/package.use, emerge without DOC succeeds.
Please post your `emerge --info' and attach the build log.
Created attachment 162400 [details] net-dialup:mgetty-1.1.36-r1:20080806-235508.log [success] Seems to be a missing dep on whatever provides dvips (on a system here, that's app-text/texlive-core and the dodoc mgetty.ps doesn't fail here).
Tex team, please advise. The way I see it, it could be solved easily by replacing virtual/latex-base dependency atom with app-text/texlive-core.

(quick answer because I'm leaving for some days really soon, should be gone by now) It seems more it should depend virtual/texi2dvi, it uses it to build mgetty.dvi (which is then used to get the .ps). See bug #230473 By the way, please don't make anything depend on texlive-core unless you have a *very* good reason to do so, use tex-base if you need only tex/kpathsea or latex-base if you need a latex compiler. texlive-core is a subset of both tex-base and latex-base anyway. As a side note, while you're at it, please export VARTEXFONTS=${T}/fonts before calling any latex stuff, it might want to build some fonts on minimal installs and cause sandbox violations if this is not set (and even if it does not need any other font, it doesn't hurt to set the variable)
Since I don't know nothing about latex and its friends, I prefer to let you guys deal with this. Fix this bug in any way you see fit (even removing the doc flag). Just don't bump the revision.

Just don't bump the revision. dep added, should be good now it seems I read too quickly the ebuild for the VARTEXFONTS stuff, as it was already there in the ebuild :)
