Why did you file this as a security issue?

You are probably looking for USE=compat.

compat : Install symlinks for legacy names of the tools

Mike is correct -- this is WAI assuming you built with USE=-compat (which is hard to tell as you didn't attach build logs to your report like all are supposed to)

Sorry, this was not my intention.

Comment 5 Juergen Rose 2016-06-03 20:39:51 UTC

Thanks to SpanKY and Mike Gilbert, the missing compat USE flag for dosfstools was the reason. With compat I have now again dosfsck.
