Probably I'm just being ignorant again. I tried to emerge -u system; when I got to sys-apps/man, the emerge failed at install time. Here's the end of the log: Done. In case you want to browse man pages using a www browser, "cd man2html", read README, and perhaps "make install-scripts". grep: /Gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/man-1.6f-r3/image/Gentoo//etc/man.conf: No such file or directory >>> Completed installing man-1.6f-r3 into /Gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/man-1.6f-r3/image/Gentoo/ ecompressdir: bzip2 -9 /Gentoo/Gentoo/usr/share/man * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/ double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/etc double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/etc/man.conf double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/bin double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/bin/apropos double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/bin/man double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/bin/man2dvi double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/bin/man2html double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/bin/whatis double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/sbin double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/sbin/makewhatis double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/share double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/share/man double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/share/man/man1 double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/share/man/man1/apropos.1.bz2 double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/share/man/man1/man.1.bz2 double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/share/man/man1/man2html.1.bz2 double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/share/man/man1/whatis.1.bz2 double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/share/man/man5 double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/share/man/man5/man.conf.5.bz2 double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/share/man/man8 double prefix * QA Notice: Gentoo///Gentoo/usr/share/man/man8/makewhatis.8.bz2 double prefix * ERROR: sys-apps/man-1.6f-r3 failed: * Aborting due to QA concerns: double prefix files installed * * Call stack: * misc-functions.sh:1023: <call install_qa_check> * misc-functions.sh: 460: die "Aborting due to QA concerns: double prefix files installed" * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. !!! post install failed; exiting. >>> Failed to emerge sys-apps/man-1.6f-r3, Log file: >>> '/Gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/man-1.6f-r3/temp/build.log' My EPREFIX="/Gentoo".

Hm, I just reinstalled it: [I] sys-apps/man Available versions: 1.6e-r3 1.6f-r3 {lzma nls} Installed versions: 1.6f-r3(01:15:34 PM 09/01/2009)(nls -lzma) And it hasn't been changed for a month: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/browser/trunk/prefix-overlay/sys-apps/man
I actually checked the ebuild and can't see where it could come from either
if you can still reproduce this, provide your emerge --info please.
