Zoltan: This is precisely the kind of bug I was trying to avoid with my suggestion at https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/9727#issuecomment-417863631

Not everyone will realize that they need to install "kicad-meta" before they spend a considerable amount of time messing around.

amending the kicad entry in the gentoo wiki is ideal method to make known to its users about applicable kicad packages
Comment 6 Zakhar 2018-09-07 19:23:32 UTC 
Better yet make gentoo specific useflags for Kicad enabling auxiliary packages to be installed via useflags.

Otherwise its quite a hassle to installed the 4+ auxiliary packages that kicad was split into.
