When I try to emerge texlive-2012 on prefix, it tries to use 2013 packages and blocks bibtexu and kpathsea. Ebuilds for texlive-2012 should explicitly depend on 2012 packages only, not >=2012, since not all of them are available on prefix yet. Output from my terminal: sirius texlive-core $ emerge -av =texlive-2012 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=app-text/texlive-core-2013".

texlive-core-2013 was added to the prefix overlay, which solves the dependency issue, but the texmf-update version, which now installed by dev-libs/kpathsea, is not prefix-usable anymore! I think we somehow need to include the following patch into dev-libs/kpathsea: <http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/browser/trunk/prefix-overlay/app-text/texlive-core/files/texmf-update2010-prefix.patch> or do some sed magic like: $ sed -i "s:/\(etc\|usr\|var\)/:${EPREFIX}&:g' texmf-update
I took the liberty to fix this, hope that's ok with you aballier
(In reply to Fabian Groffen from comment #2) > I took the liberty to fix this, hope that's ok with you aballier yep; I was going to ask for eprefixify rather than sed but you did it that way
With app-text/texlive-core-2013 in prefix overlay this is fixed.
