It compiles fine, but on installation it fails:

>>> Install live-2017.06.04 into /volumes/temp-fs/vartmp/portage/media-plugins/live-2017.06.04/image/ category media-plugins
 * abi_x86_32.x86: running multilib-minimal_abi_src_install

 * ERROR: media-plugins/live-2017.06.04::gentoo failed (install phase):

With USE=-examples, it merges fine.

emerge --info media-plugins/live

Attached is the output of `emerge --info media-plugins/live` (note that it was captured after I installed the package with USE=-examples!)

I'm getting this exact error, two years later, with each of the three versions in my Portage tree - live-2017.10.28, live-2018.01.29, live-2018.07.07.

Upon examining the ebuilds, I see that `multilib_src_install()` tries to `dobin` binaries found with `find ... -perm 755`, but the binaries in the directory it searched have permissions 775. Like Pavel, with USE=-examples, it merges fine.

Please reopen if this still happens with >=media-plugins/live-2020.03.06.
