I had enlightenment e16 installed then I upgraded: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -u --nodeps enlightenment ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -u --nodeps ethemes After it was done enligenment gave me a message asking for a default theme dir I couldn't figure out what it was so I ran XFree86 & strace -o log enlightenment Then looked through the log and it needed /usr/share/enlighenment/themes/DEFAULT to link to /usr/share/enlighenment/themes/BrushedMetal-Tigert It could link to some other folder in there but it must exist. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge enlightenment 2. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -u --nodeps enlightenment 3.

I checked the englightenment makefile and it rm's the link and remakes it.
could have just checked the package contents of the ebuild :) root@vapier 0 root # grep DEFAULT /var/db/pkg/x11-wm/enlightenment-0.16.7_pre1/CONTENTS sym /usr/share/enlightenment/themes/DEFAULT -> BrushedMetal-Tigert 1084257864 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16162 ***
