On another host, I can install avrdude, since it has texi2html. But it doesn't belong to any package!?! sascha@cube:~$ which texi2html /usr/bin/texi2html sascha@cube:~$ equery belongs /usr/bin/texi2html [ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/texi2html in *... ] sascha@cube:~$
texi2html is created at pkg_postinst and doens't belong to 1.64-r1 (1.64 owns its texi2html). I assume that the maintainer would like to support multiple texi2html in future and texi2html serves as a link to the newest texi2html. Could you re-emerge 1.64-r1 again to see if the problem remains?
OK, works fine now. I'm surprised how this could happen. According to the ChangeLog, texi2html-1.64-r1 is over a year old (2003-11-24) and according to Bug #34217 it was installing the SymLink right from the beginning. The bug that could have possibly affected me (Bug #34245) had already been fixed (2003-11-24) by the time it got marked stable (2004-04-26) and installed on the failing system (2004-06-01).
Yes, my first intention was to make a symlink to newest texi2html installed (because tetex installed its bundled texi2html). However, I changed tetex to not install texi2html and put the latest texi2html ebuild, so I modified texi2html to remove the symlink. I don't know why texi2html-1.64-r1 didn't create the symlink for you (it still creates the symlink if you use that revision). I'll remove 1.64-r1 once 1.76 is keyworded on all the arches in 1.64-r1. Thanks anyway for the bug report.
