When I tried to emerge clamav it failed, complaining about libidn. Re-emerging libidn did not help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge clamav 2. 3.

Please do `emerge libtool libidn`. If this doesn't help, the following will: `find /usr/lib -iname "*\.la" -exec sed -i -r -e "s:/var/tmp/portage/.*/image/:/:g" '{}' \;`
Remerging didn't help, but the find/sed command did wonderfully. What on earth was wrong?
