This sometimes occurs after portage processes info files (which happens when I emerge a package): >>> No packages selected for removal by clean >>> Auto-cleaning packages... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * Regenerating GNU info directory index... * Processed 131 info files; 2 errors. install-info: No such file or directory for /usr/share/info/bashref.info install-info: No such file or directory for /usr/share/info/bashref.info.gz * Note * At this specific example, I was running the following: emerge openoffice-bin kate It doesn't seem to affect anything on the system as far as I can see. Reproducible: Sometimes

This seems like bug #162451. If you reinstall bash then the problem should correct itself. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 162451 ***
