problem occurs when ebuild tries to create subdirectories in non-existant tree .. in this function python_prepare_all() { # It's easier to move them around now. # TODO: add python_newmodule? mkdir "${GLEP_SRC}"/{read,trans} || die mv "${GLEP_SRC}"/{glepread,read/glep}.py || die mv "${GLEP_SRC}"/{glepstrans,trans/gleps}.py || die distutils-r1_python_prepare_all } as this is conditionally downloaded only when glep is set: SRC_URI+=" glep? ( mirror://gentoo/glep-0.4-r1.tbz2 thus not unpacked if not present thus a die fix .... change part of the logic ..
