On most (4 out of 5) of my systems, the emerge of x11-libs/cairo-1.16.0-r4 attempts to apply the cairo-1.16.0-binutils-2.34.patch patch twice. Emerge then fails prepare phase. I've no idea what's different about the one successful system. I also attempted "USE='-utils' emerge -1v =x11-libs/cairo-1.16.0-r4" in a vain hope that the emerge would only attempt to apply the patch once. firelizard ~ # emerge -1v =x11-libs/cairo-1.16.0-r4 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

well, your log says that you're about to apply a user patch. It seems you have dropped the binutils patch into /etc/portage/ and forgot about it.
(In reply to tt_1 from comment #1) > well, your log says that you're about to apply a user patch. It seems you > have dropped the binutils patch into /etc/portage/ and forgot about it. You were correct. Thank you.
