I have a fresh Gentoo install on an amd64 system, using the default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde profile. When emerging texlive-2008, the package texlive-basic-2008-r1 fails with the following message: * Building format texmf/fmtutil/format.metafont.cnf fmtutil: running `mf-nowin -ini -jobname=mf -progname=mf -translate-file=cp227.tcx mf.ini' ...

Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.
In the meanwhile I solved the issue by editing /usr/portage/eclass/texlive-module.eclass, adding the lines suggested in Comment #27 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262177#c27 of bug 262177. I'm not sure why that patch did not end up in portage, maybe it conflicts with the newer versions?
OK. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 262177 ***
Does this mean that texlive-module.eclass will not be updated in portage with those lines fixing this bug? Considering that 2008 is the stable version of texlive and that people hit this bug on a fresh install, the file should definitely be fixed, IMHO.
