While emerging dev-java/junit-3.8.1, I receive the following error: /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 27: ant: command not found !!! ERROR: dev-java/junit-3.8.1 failed. !!!

I tried re-emerging dev-java/ant. I got the following messages at the install step: >>> Install ant-1.6.0-r3 into /var/tmp/portage/ant-1.6.0-r3/image/ category dev-java cp: cannot stat `/usr/portage/dev-java/ant/files/1.6.0-r3/ant': No such file or directory install: cannot stat `src/ant': No such file or directory >>> dobin: making /var/tmp/portage/ant-1.6.0-r3/work/apache-ant-1.6.0/src/script/antRun executable... >>> dobin: making /var/tmp/portage/ant-1.6.0-r3/work/apache-ant-1.6.0/src/script/runant.pl executable... >>> dobin: making /var/tmp/portage/ant-1.6.0-r3/work/apache-ant-1.6.0/src/script/runant.py executable... >>> dobin: making /var/tmp/portage/ant-1.6.0-r3/work/apache-ant-1.6.0/src/script/complete-ant-cmd.pl executable... d So perhaps this ebuild didn't create /usr/bin/ant? I don't understand this part of the ebuild, but it isn't working properly, IMO.
I see this problem was reported in comment 7 to bug #40274.
I've revised the summary, since the problem is in the dev-java/ant-1.6.0-r3 ebuild, not dev-java/junit-3.8.1. When I copy the ant executable to /usr/bin/ant, everything works with dev-java/junit-3.8.1. I'm still not sure how to fix the dev-java/ant-1.6.0-r3 ebuild, since I don't completely understand ebuild conventions.
Installing Ant with FEATURES="-sandbox" fixed it for me. That can't be the solution, though, only a workaround.
Ok, the thing is that i forgetted to commit the ant script so it got broken, with an emerge sync; emerge -v dev-java/ant should fix it. It was solved yesterday.
