try to use an use flag like for the language like "de" or "en". maybe this is the problem here. with this: [ebuild R ~] app-doc/php-docs-20101029 LINGUAS="de -en -es -fa -fr -ja -pl -pt_BR -ro -tr" 5,901 kB the directory /usr/share/docs/php-docs-20101029 is not empty.
I added a revbump that force users to add a supported language to $LINGUAS.
