You're getting this bug because the package in summary installs its documentation (or at least part of it) outside the usual /usr/share/doc/${PF} directory. First, please keep in mind that this bug might not be noticeable for -r0 ebuilds, but it might be for -r1 and later, since if the ebuild has same name and version of the package, for -r0 it might correspond properly. To fix this, if the package uses autotools, recent version (autoconf 2.61+) have two ./configure switches: --docdir and --htmldir to decide where to put the documentation. Older versions might require you override docdir/htmldir or other custom variables during make install. For non-autotooled build systems, good luck, since I cannot tell you how to achieve the proper results, the same holds true with totally broken buildsystems even when based on autotools. Thanks, Diego
+ 08 Dec 2009; Gilles Dartiguelongue <eva@gentoo.org> -libxml2-2.7.4.ebuild, + libxml2-2.7.4-r1.ebuild: + Make sure to remove unneeded /usr/share/doc directory, bug #295762 + Actually this does not show on live filesystem because portage does not install empty directories and the directory is empty because all files it had were moved/removed at src_install. Fixed without a bump.
