Created attachment 406528 [details, diff] emacs-common-gentoo-1.5-portage-multilib.patch I am using the portage-multilib fork of portage (#gentoo-multilib-overlay). To most compatibly support multiple ABIs with existing ebuilds in gentoo-x86, it runs many ebuild stages multiple times—once per ABI. This includes pkg_preinst(). The line which deletes `site-gentoo.el.orig` asserts that the file exists and fails if it doesn’t. Since `site-gentoo.el.orig` is not installed to an ABI-specific folder, this line fails when it is run for a second ABI, causing die() to be called: rm: cannot remove ‘/var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/emacs-common-gentoo-1.5/image//usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el.orig’: No such file or directory Likewise to the mv line (for if `site-lisp` does not yet exist in ${EROOT}): mv: cannot stat ‘/var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/emacs-common-gentoo-1.5/image//usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el.orig’: No such file or directory Please consider making the lines dealing with `site-gentoo.el.orig` idempotent. This logic only needs to be run if `site-gentoo.el` doesn’t yet exist in ${ED}. I have attached a patch which makes this change and makes emacs-common-gentoo work for me.

Created attachment 406532 [details, diff] emacs-common-gentoo-1.5-portage-multilib-indented.patch Not sure what people prefer, but I realized the indentation changes were lost because I had followd some guide which told me to put “diff -u -b -B” into my ~/.cvsrc a long time ago. These are the changes I would commit if given the go-ahead, indentation changes included…
Created attachment 406536 [details, diff] emacs-common-gentoo-1.5.ebuild.diff Slightly different approach, please test.

This works for me. Tested both with and without preexisting site-lisp. Thanks!
