The ebuild calls out this in the X GUI section: dosym "$(python_get_sitedir)/${PN}/GUI/xasy.py" /usr/bin/xasy which creates a flawed symbolic link: /usr/bin/xasy -> /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/asymptote/GUI/xasy.py However, there is no asymptote subdirectory in site-packages. xasy.py is located in: /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/GUI/xasy.py Found this doing my occasional cleanup scan of the system directories with "find . -type l -xtype l". Not sure if the ebuild isn't installing a necessary subdirectory "asymptote", or if the ebuild has an extraneous path element "asymptote". Reproducible: Always # emerge --info asymptote Portage 3.0.56 (python 3.11.6-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/plasma, gcc-13, glibc-2.37-r7, 6.1.57-gentoo x86_64)
