I emerged libmsn (version 4.1, which is hardmasket at this moment). The compilation went good, but emerge stopped itself by the installation of the package. The error was: "dodoc failed". I used a workaround by installing libmsn-4.1 from sources in /usr/local and putting it into /etc/portage/profile/package.provided. That works fine: I can install with emerge any other package that uses libmsn, like kopete. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unmask net-libs/libmsn-4.1 and add it to package.keywords. 2. emerge '=net-libs/libmsn-4.1' Actual Results: Portage does not install the package. Expected Results: The package should be installed. My system's configuration is very unstable. I'm a Sabayon user who works a lot with portage. However this problem sounds like an ebuild-related error, not a system problem. Therefore I filed the bug. Th portage error was: [code] >>> Install libmsn-4.1 into /var/tmp/portage/net-libs/libmsn-4.1/image/ category net-libs >>> Working in BUILD_DIR:

And this was fixed some time ago. I guess emerge --sync should fix the issue: 24 Jan 2010; Patrick Lauer <pal@gentoo.org> libmsn-4.1.ebuild: Fixing DOCS so that it doesn't fail
