Emerging dev-python/pygtk in Prefix Portage causes 40 packages to be pulled in. One of them fails to emerge. My platform is SUSE Enterprise 10 SP1. >>> Emerging (32 of 41) media-libs/fontconfig-2.6.0-r2 .... cp: cannot stat `../conf.avail/20-fix-globaladvance.conf': No such file or directory /local/scratch/nightly/2009-01-23-1/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 '10-autohint.conf' '/local/scratch/portage/media-libs/fontconfig-2.6.0-r2/image//local/scratch/nightly/2009-01-23-1/etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf' /local/scratch/nightly/2009-01-23-1/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'README' '/local/scratch/portage/media-libs/fontconfig-2.6.0-r2/image//local/scratch/nightly/2009-01-23-1/etc/fonts/conf.d/README' rm -f 20-unhint-small-vera.conf; ln -s ../conf.avail/20-unhint-small-vera.conf . /local/scratch/nightly/2009-01-23-1/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 '10-no-sub-pixel.conf' '/local/scratch/portage/media-libs/fontconfig-2.6.0-r2/image//local/scratch/nightly/2009-01-23-1/etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-no-sub-pixel.conf' cp: cannot stat `../conf.avail/20-unhint-small-vera.conf': No such file or directory rm -f 30-urw-aliases.conf; ln -s ../conf.avail/30-urw-aliases.conf .

Workaround: Mask version 2.6.0-r2 in etc/portage/package.mask. This causes media-libs/fontconfig-2.5.0-r01.2 to be emerged successfully.
hmmm... wait a sec.. this seems to be caused by my windows patch...? didn't think this could disturb any other platform. the patch is now applied on windows only, so it should work now. still a strange problem, sorry for the inconvenience.
