Is that with USE=-X perhaps?

> Is that with USE=-X perhaps?

No, it has +X
Comment 3 Boney McCracker 2013-12-03 02:01:12 UTC
I can confirm this.  Looks like some sort of variable indirection programming error to me, with @baseconfigdir@ being interpreted literally rather than resolved to its value (presumably "/etc/fonts").  The directory is dated 10 November on my system, with the contents having been modified when I ran an emerge -e world a couple of days ago, so this probably relates to a change that predates 10 November.  I also have USE="X".

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

Comment 4 Harm Geerts 2013-12-03 20:18:01 UTC
I think media-libs/fontconfig-2.11.0 is responsible for this.

$ pkg-config --variable=confdir fontconfig
@baseconfigdir@
$ grep baseconfigdir /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/fontconfig.pc
confdir=@baseconfigdir@
$ equery belongs /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/fontconfig.pc
 * Searching for /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/fontconfig.pc ... 
media-libs/fontconfig-2.11.0 (/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/fontconfig.pc)

Looking at the fontconfig source it seems the @baseconfigdir@ is never replaced with the appropriate value.
Comment 5 Viktor Yu. Kovalskii 2013-12-07 14:05:53 UTC
media-libs/fontconfig-2.11.0:

$ pkg-config --variable=confdir fontconfig
@baseconfigdir@

media-libs/fontconfig-2.10.95:

$ pkg-config --variable=confdir fontconfig
/etc/fonts

Reassigning to fontconfig maintainers.
Comment 7 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-01-16 14:41:51 UTC
Duplicationg to a later bug because that one references a fix.
