Should this USE flag really be tetex, or more likely doc? This is not really "tetex support" added, but rather tetex used to build documentation. Anyway, this texing fails, and I'm not sure which package would be to blame. Remerging tetex did not solve the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Missing metadata.xml, this package needs a maintainer. @Martin: There are some suggestions in Bug 91905, you might give them a try.
Merging tetex-2.* is not an option for me. I'd rather do without the docs. I'm still wondering why this etex.fmt is not listed as belonging to any package.
changed tetex USE to doc.
OK, renaming the USE flag is good, but does not resolve the core of this bug. I still get this texi2dvi error message, if I set USE=doc.
I get the exact same errors on mine, I added the stupid 100mb tetex and it still didn't fix it. ... with any luck hopefully someone will figure this one out.
I also get the texidvi problem - although when building media-libs/allegro-4.2.0 rather than fdutils. Searching b.g.o for 'texidvi' finds this bug ... Should probably open a bug for texi2dvi/etex/tetex as that is where the problem really is.
