Created attachment 314143 [details] sci-libs/mathgl-1.11.2-r1.ebuild I've stumbled upon the same issue. It seems to be caused by ChangeLog symlinked to ChangeLog.txt. If we overwrite the symlink with the original ChangeLog, the package installs just fine.
Version already removed. newer do not suffer from this.
