From elog:

Me:

Sure enough, from /usr/portage/www-servers/apache/apache-2.2.6.ebuild pkg_config():

> pkg_config() {
>        einfo "Installing default webroot to ${ROOT}/var/www/localhost"
>        cp -R "${ROOT}"/usr/share/doc/${PF}/webroot/* "${ROOT}"/var/www/localhost
> }

I guess it should be "${ROOT}"usr/share/doc/${PF}/webroot/* and "${ROOT}"var/www/localhost

It looks like the problem is present throughout the file.

The extra / completely doesn't matter, you can try this manually.

maybe /var/www/localhost is not a directory?

This was correct.  Might be nice for the ebuild to test/create the dir if need be.

I'd moved my existing /var/www/localhost to localhost.old, then run the requested command.  I recall I resolved the error manually.  Sorry for not being as clear during filing.
