Meh, typo above... Anyway, no such files installed here.

# ls /usr/share/doc/vlc
ls: cannot access /usr/share/doc/vlc: No such file or directory

Do you have USE="nsplugin" ?

# emerge -pv vlc

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Here's a snip from the ebuild that the patch addresses:

if use nsplugin; then
	dodir "/usr/$(get_libdir)/${PLUGINS_DIR}"
	mv "${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/mozilla/{components,plugins}/* \
		"${D}/usr/$(get_libdir)/${PLUGINS_DIR}/"

	rm -rf "${D}/usr/share/doc/vlc" \
	"${D}"/usr/share/vlc/vlc{16x16,32x32,48x48,128x128}.{png,xpm,ico}
fi

The rm doc (& icons) has slipped inside the if for nsplugin. The patch just moves it out for the benefit of those of us that don't use nsplugin.

Noone will notice again if you don't reopen the bug.

Fixed, thanks for reporting.
