yes it is a bug, but not what you may have thought: camlp5 isnt supposed to put that file here, and actually, that file at that location is useless, so there's a problem in its build system / ebuild. $ equery files camlp5 | grep META /usr/lib64/ocaml/camlp5/META ebuild has this: # findlib support insinto "$(ocamlfind printconf destdir)/${PN}" doins etc/META || die "failed to install META file for findlib support" so, most likely cause is that dev-ml/findlib is broken on your system can you try rebuilding it and re-install camlp5 ?

Yes, you are right, that did the trick: The evil file is gone now! :-)))
I still don't quite understand why that helped, because I re-emerged that package on 03/30 the last time which was only a couple of days before.
Anyway, it helped; problem gone.
Thanks a lot & closing the bug!
