xmlto version 0.0.25 /usr/bin/xmlto:line 260: GCP_PATH=/usr/bin/cp /usr/bin/cp does not exist, it is /bin/cp (see sys-apps/coreutils-8.23) /usr/share/xmlto/format/docbook/man: case "$1" in [...] post-process) [ -e "$XSLT_PROCESSED" ] && rm "$XSLT_PROCESSED" ${GCP_PATH:-cp} -R -P -p -- * "$OUTPUT_DIR" 2>/dev/null ;; esac The "2>/dev/null" here is really nasty, because it puts the error message into nirvana ... This makes applications using it to fail without an apparent reason; In my case it was sys-apps/dbus which failed to build. Suggested fix: a) Change GCP_PATH=/usr/bin/cp to GCP_PATH=/usr/cp or use GCP_PATH=`which cp` b) Add a link /usr/bin/cp --> /usr/cp in coreutils Remove the "2>/dev/null" in /usr/share/xmlto/format/docbook/man, at least in VERBOSE mode
NB: app-text/xmlto-0.0.26-r1 has the same problem, possibly for /usr/bin/sed as well
Could you please provide a step-by-step procedure how to trigger this bug? If you have build failures please attach complete build.log and `emerge --info' output.

And, as pointed out in the first comment, in /usr/share/xmlto/format/docbook/man (The script whose output are the last four lines above -- those marked with '+'), a "2>/dev/null" is appended to the line causing the error message to disappear.
This appears to be fixed in xmlto-0.0.26-r1. Try updating your xmlto. $ equery l xmlto * Searching for xmlto ... [IP-] [ ] app-text/xmlto-0.0.26-r1:0 $ grep GCP_PATH /usr/bin/xmlto GCP_PATH=/bin/cp export GCP_PATH
@coacher: No. Not on my app-text/xmlto-0.0.26-r1 hestia ~ # qlist -Iv xmlto app-text/xmlto-0.0.26-r1 hestia ~ # grep GCP_PATH /usr/bin/xmlto GCP_PATH=/usr/bin/cp export GCP_PATH hestia ~ # Same version, different content? How's this possible?
Not sure how. This problem may take a long time to get fixed as xmlto currently has no maintainer. There are other hardcoded paths inside xmlto binary for grep, sed, etc. Are they detected correctly?
I think I've found the reason what happened: Usually, I'm compiling packages on my buildhost, and on this machine, /usr/bin/cp existed as link (I've created it manually a long time ago because of similar problems). Hence, the build script detects cp as /usr/bin/cp, stores this in /usr/bin/xmlto and thus in the package. When installing this package on a machine without /usr/bin/cp, I trapped into this problem. Compiling xmlto on a machine with only /bin/cp (and no /usr/bin/cp) works fine (GCP_PATH=/bin/cp) The root cause is that a package depends implictly on files which do not exist on the target machine. IMHO, this is a fundamental problem that cannot be fixed easily, because its not clear who to blame: Me, because I created the link, gentoo/portage because it allows creation/installation of packages which do not work on the target, or xmlto for its build script. From my point of view, we can close this bug.
That's a valuable info, thank you. After all it was caused by your build environment. Closing.
