Description Victor 2009-04-02 02:21:01 UTC 
The folder /usr/share/pari-2.3.4/doc/ is deleted by the ebuild. This folder has files used by the online help system of the gp program.

Code in ebuild that remove the folder:
    #remove superfluous doc directory
    rm -fr "${D}/usr/share/${P}/doc" || \
       die "Failed to clean up doc directory"

It`s wrong. It will break with the online help.

To fix the problem, just remove or comment the lines above.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="doc" emerge pari
2. open gp program
3. type ??+enter

Actual Results:  
The gp/gphelp can't find the help files.

Expected Results:  
By default, it should show a dvi file.
