OK so this has been happening way too much for the issue to be strange one-offs, HOWEVER, I do not understand why or how it's occurring. x11-plugins/enigmail is in both DEPEND and RDEPEND and so it -must- be on-disk when thunderbird is being emerged, and if it's on-disk then the code can find that install.rdf. What I would like to know first and foremost is why enigmail didn't have install.rdf merged to begin with, as that is the only thing I can think of that would be causing this bug. At any rate, it's a duplicate, merging to keep the resolution in one location. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 616430 ***
