sk1libs should use symlinks and RDEPEND for ttf-bitstream-vera instead of duplicating ttf files. You may use stellarium-0.11.3.ebuild as example of fix. $ equery f sk1libs |grep ttf$ /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sk1libs/ft2engine/fallback_fonts/Vera.ttf /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sk1libs/ft2engine/fallback_fonts/VeraBI.ttf /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sk1libs/ft2engine/fallback_fonts/VeraBd.ttf /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sk1libs/ft2engine/fallback_fonts/VeraIt.ttf $ rsync -navc /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sk1libs/ft2engine/fallback_fonts/ /usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/ sending incremental file list ./ readme.txt sent 207 bytes received 30 bytes 474.00 bytes/sec total size is 251842 speedup is 1062.62 (DRY RUN) Versions: media-libs/sk1libs-0.9.1 media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-r3

At some point, that path was a symlink to usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera. In the later versions, it's a directory that contains symlinks to the actual font files. I removed the symlink: rm /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sk1libs/ft2engine/fallback_fonts and was able to re-emerge sk1libs, which now creates a directory there.
