From the emerge log: INFO (setup) Package: sci-visualization/gnuplot-5.0.0 Repository: gentoo Maintainer: ulm@gentoo.org ottxor@gentoo.org,sci@gentoo.org USE: X abi_x86_64 amd64 cairo elibc_glibc gd kernel_linux latex readline userland_GNU wxwidgets FEATURES: keeptemp keepwork preserve-libs sandbox userpriv usersandbox INFO (configure) Requested wxWidgets: unicode 2.8 Using wxWidgets: gtk2-unicode-release-2.8 ERROR (install) ERROR: sci-visualization/gnuplot-5.0.0::gentoo failed (install phase): You are not specifying README.gentoo contents! Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 93: Called src_install environment, line 3166: Called readme.gentoo_create_doc environment, line 3025: Called die The specific snippet of code: die "You are not specifying README.gentoo contents!"; Indeed, there is no "README.gentoo" in the files directory of gnuplot in the portage tree, but the ebuild contains "readme.gentoo_create_doc" and "readme.gentoo_print_elog".
I cannot reproduce this issue, the usage of "readme.gentoo_create_doc" and "readme.gentoo_print_elog" is fine as DOC_CONTENTS gets set in src_prepare, maybe pacho has more input on that.
Mysterious. Seems to be emerge-related... Tried again twice with my usual settings ("--quiet-build --quiet-fail --jobs=4 --keep-going"): Both failed. Now emerged without all these options: Worked. Tried again with my options: Now worked. (Cleaned the emerge working dir before each attempt). Could it be that emerge randomly looses DOC_CONTENTS between its phases? Is there any possibility for race conditions?
I cannot reproduce even with your options. Please provide emerge --info
I tried again with various options, worked fine every time (I had some updates installed since the original report). I guess it was not related to gnuplot, but to some mysterious coincidence in portage or something like that.
