[gentoo-user] Xorg-6.8.2-r2 will compile, but won't install

[Daniel]

Upgrading Xorg today (6.8.x on my desktop, 6.9.x on my laptop) are both 
failing not on the compile, but on the install phase with the following 
messages:

  <snip>

  No package files given... Grabbing a set.

I have no idea where to go from here.  Any suggestions?

You can emerge it with:

FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge xorg-x11

But it is probably a bug. You should check on bugs.gentoo.org if it is
already reported, and file a new bug if not.

Thanks!  I've submitted the bug.
