*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 686288 ***
Don't unset the "redistributable" flag if your saved config contains only files with such (non-free, but redistributable) licenses. The flag is enabled by an IUSE default for a reason. What happens is that the resulting list of files ends up empty, which makes doins fail. (Which presumably is better than silently installing an empty package.)

A nice user-readable error would be expected; not a traceback. Reassign to the portage team? (CCing them here, adjusting the summary and changing product.)

Not a portage problem. The package ends up without any files to install, so doins gets passed an unexpanded "*" which of course doesn't exist (which is what the traceback says). I've added an additional sanity check to the ebuild, which will at least output a more useful error message.
