I get this error: * Messages for package dev-libs/kpathsea-6.0.1_p20110705: * Cannot run texmf-update for some reason. * Your texmf tree might be inconsistent with your configuration * Please try to figure what has happened Note that the FIRST thing I tried to install after a clean bootstrap was pdfjam. So whatever tree it's talking about is, by definition, consistent.

do you have "${EPREFIX}"/usr/sbin/texmf-update ?
No. That file doesn't exist. Missing dependency? freetype failed to merge, but it was being emerged at the same time, so that's either not a dependency, or it wasn't marked as such but should be.
looks like it
Alexis, can you triage this issue? Thanks.
yes -- ignore it: texmf-update is provided by texlive-core. if you dont have it, you dont need to run texmf-update. if you have texlive-core installed, then there is a problem and you should investigate.
thanks
