emerge --info

Hi!

I'm trying to install portage with doc use flag in prefixed (non-root) env, which works fine except at the QA error at the very end:

$ emerge -v portage

 * IMPORTANT: 12 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news read to view new items.


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

 *   			die "Aborting due to QA concerns: there are files installed outside the prefix"


My prefix is /home/evidgbo/usr/roots/gentoo.

There could a bug in setup.py.
