Hmmmmm this is an interesting one as I can't reproduce it locally. Would you mind trying an ebuild for me in a bit?

I wonder if you can't reproduce because you have some package(s) providing the missing script installed, which is not marked in dependencies.

Sure I can try your ebuild.

So, do you have anything for me to test?

This is the issue. Tested it.
Comment 8 Bartek Stalewski 2023-04-11 10:25:12 UTC 
I have dev-go/go-md2man, but it's required for packages more important (for me!) than rofi - docker, runc and containerd. So I still think this ebuild should be fixed to deal with that, as I won't delete gomd2man.

Updated ebuild

This bug was fixed upstream: https://github.com/lbonn/rofi/pull/62/commits/006ae56291e543cf3f9dcd374213b65683db14dc

This was included in the most recent release (1.7.5+wayland2), and the attached ebuild builds successfully (with go-md2man installed).

One thing to note, however, is that the naming for this ebuild might need a revision bump. I'm not sure what naming convention to use here. I'd assume a revbump and some customization using something like MY_PN/MY_PV might work best. The current ebuild in guru is version 1.7.5+wayland1.
