There's a directory that's not present in the nextcloud tarballs that must exist and be writable at runtime for nextcloud to function properly. The src_install() phase function currently creates it like this: dodir "${MY_HTDOCSDIR}"/data and then Portage removes it because the the directory is empty and the strict-keepdir FEATURE now defaults to on. This results results in a nonfunctional install of nextcloud. What the modern ebuild *should* be doing is: keepdir "${MY_HTDOCSDIR}"/data This issue is present in all in-tree nextcloud ebuilds.

Instead, we should use keepdir. Thanks to John R. Graham for reporting this.
