As of version 1.19 (and possibly earlier), when app-text/build-docbook-catalog is ready to install, it tries to install its files outside the prefix. For this reason, Portage immediately halts merging and quits with an error. I suspect that when the Prefix and Linux/x86 repositories were joined in holy union, someone forgot to update a file in the Prefix overlay. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In a prefix install, emerge build-docbook-catalog Actual Results: Install fails with: * Aborting due to QA concerns: there are files installed outside the prefix Expected Results: app-text/build-docbook-catalog should be successfully merged.
