The latest emacs-cvs ebuilds install their info pages to /usr/share/info/emacs-$SLOT. But it doesn't set the INFOPATH to include that directory, so info-mode and standalone info can't find the pages. I added /etc/env.d/90mine with INFOPATH="/usr/share/info/emacs-21.3.50", and after running env-update and some profile sourcing the info pages reappeared. I'm not sure this is the proper solution though: I haven't tested what happens if you have multiple emacsen installed, both providing their own info pages. Still I think it's an improvement over the current situation (no info at all) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge emacs-cvs with ~x86 in keywords 2. info emacs 3. Actual Results: Get an unrelated emacs-w3m page. Expected Results: Displayed the emacs info page.

Ok, I looked a bit harder, and the ebuild is right, but portage is wrong. It uses newenvd to install a file, but due to a portage bug this is not working. According to #gentoo-portage that bug is fixed in the upcoming portage release. I'm closing this one as invalid.
