cp: cannot stat 'etc/vdr/channels.conf': No such file or directory
chown: cannot access '/var/tmp/portage/media-plugins/vdr-autosort-0.1.3/image/etc/vdr/channels.conf.autosort.bak': No such file or directory

for me, it looks like, tinderbox failed in this case,
as tinderbox has not a configured/running vdr setup
on first start of vdr, it will created an emtpty channels.conf

so the plugin will copy, move or install all files without any problems

(In reply to Joerg Bornkessel from comment #7)
But if a user does not install and run vdr first and later installs the plugin - it will fail, or?
