The binary installed by rdoc-4 package is # cave contents rdoc::installed | grep bin/rdoc /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rdoc-4.0.1/bin/rdoc /usr/bin/rdoc-2 Symlinked result of running eselect ruby # eselect ruby list Available Ruby profiles: [1] ruby20 (with Rubygems) * # ls -l /usr/bin/rdoc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 13. Jul 10:21 /usr/bin/rdoc -> rdoc20 The problem is here # grep -A9 create_symlinks /usr/share/eselect/modules/ruby.eselect create_symlinks() { local target=${1} version version=${target##*ruby} local path="${EROOT}${bindir}/" # these have to work for f in "ruby" "irb" "erb" "ri" "testrb" "rdoc" ; do ln -s "${f}${version}" "${path}${f}" || \ die -q "Could not set ${f} symlink" Note that die fails its intention here, so eselect ruby does NOT bail. ln will return 0, that is success, as long as it can create the link. It's not a failure if the target of the symlink does not exist at creation time. "die" would only execute, if the previous symlink still existed, since ln -f option is not used. this is prevented earlier by rm -f ${EROOT}${bindir}/{ruby,gem,irb,erb,ri,rdoc,testrb} Suggested solution: Either - ruby.eselect needs to be patched OR - dev-ruby/rdoc should rename installed binary ("rdoc-2" -> "rdoc20") Greetings Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 353194 [details, diff] rdoc-4.0.1.ebuild.patch There actually is code in the rdoc ebuild - for ruby19 - that suggests a better solution. So I chose for the second option to fix this, leaving eselect.ruby alone. Thanks devs for fixing this in tree.

I dropped the ruby20 depend because that would only be needed if we need a specific ruby20 patch level. I also renamed the short variable name to something more intuitively meaningful. Other than that: applied.
