I'm in the process of installing my system again after hd issues, when I get to a pkg that has a doc file to install that comes as part of the tree such as ChangeLog to AUTHORS, the ebuild fails with the following error: install: cannot stat ChangeLog: No such file or directory !!! dodoc: ChangeLog does not exist such pkgs are phonon-vlc and qjsonm happens with stable version too. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 346090 [details] emerge --info
Created attachment 346092 [details] qjson build log
libssh exhibits the same behavior
I suggest you make regular backups. There is no bug to fix here.

It sounds as though you may have something interfering with the DOCS variable which is used by base_src_install_docs in base.eclass. Interference like this could come from /etc/portage/bashrc, or from any one of the profile.bashrc files in your profile.

I didn't found any change in the bashrc files on my system. the fs I'm using for the tree partition is reiserfs, can that be the issue?

I guess it's not bashrc. I've checked the qjson-0.8.1.ebuild and I see that it does set DOCS=( ChangeLog README.md ), and ChangeLog appears to exist inside qjson-0.8.1.tar.bz2 as we'd hope. > the fs I'm using for the tree partition is reiserfs, can that be the issue? Maybe so. You could check to see if /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/qjson-0.8.1/work/qjson-0.8.1/ChangeLog exists. It does here.

info update, found more pkgs, it happens only with two files, changeLog and AUTHORS
You could try testing the same packages with a different filesystem type mounted on /var/tmp/portage (such as tmpfs). If that makes the problem go away, then it points to an issue with reiserfs.
