Created attachment 424436 [details] emerge --info According to the logs, on my system the build fails because: texi2dvi -D -q -c --language=latex /var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/xcolor-2.11/work/xcolor/xcolor2.tex calls latex --file-line-error </dev/null '\nonstopmode' '\input' '/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/xcolor-2.11/work/xcolor/xcolor2.tex' which outputs errors about missing files: pgfutil-common.tex pgfkeys.code.tex pgffor.code.tex When manually copying the files to (e.g.) /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pstricks/ and then running mktexls the latex command succeeds. The next error is caused by a call to latex --file-line-error </dev/null '\nonstopmode' '\input' '/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/xcolor-2.11/work/xcolor/xcolor.dtx' Which generates: ! LaTeX Error: File `xcolor.sty' not found. Since xcolor.sty is part of the package itself, I wouldn't know how to properly fix this. Other missing files: - chngpage.sty - xcolor.dtx - svgnam.def - x11nam.def + a lot of warnings about missing fonts... However, when installing those files manually, the build succeeds.
Thank you for the comprehensive report. I could not reproduce this on a gentoo system with dev-tex/pgf installed. Regarding http://www.portagefilelist.de/site/query/file/ pgfutil-common.tex is installed by dev-tex/pgf. Please test and report, if it works for you after installing dev-tex/pgf. May be we should add a dependency for this package.
