feynmf runs pod2man (from the perl package) as a build step, and should express a build dependency on it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -C perl 2. emerge feynmf Actual Results: >>> Emerging (1 of 15) dev-tex/feynmf-1.08-r3 * feynmf-1.08.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

Expected Results: ebuild completes succesfully I discovered this while trying to build feynmf in a minimal stage3-like environment. To workaround, do `emerge -1 perl` then proceed with the original merge.
Oh yeah, one last thing: thanks to everyone who works one this! :-)
Fixed, without revbump. Thank you for reporting.
