When emerging x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 I got: /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 298: cabextract: command not found I then did: emerge cabextract and the problem went away. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Apparently your dependencies aren't working correctly. DEPEND has this line: truetype? ( app-arch/cabextract ) CC'ing dev-portage. Please attach the output of emerge info.
Portage upgraded - thus not reproducable for me.
