I had a failure while building/installing gnome and I am not sure what
the failure is.  Here is the first mention of trouble

/bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/work/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/install-sh -d /var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/image//usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/C/figures/
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 C/figures/ask_pointer.png /var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/image//usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/C/figures/ask_pointer.png
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/image//usr/share/gnome': File exists
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/image//usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/C': File exists
make[3]: *** [install-doc-docs] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

It seems to be complaining that /usr/share/gnome exists and that
/usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/C exists

But that doesn't seem like an error for an upgrade.

It then has 66 successful installs like this one (I guess these are the
unfinished jobs)

and finally here is the tail of the log

The system is amd64.

Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,

PS I did read the update guide, but it seemed to be to be saying that
you first do the emerge and then follow directions in the guide.

Just for the heck I redid the emerge --newuse --update --with-bdeps=y world

It started with gnome-user-docs, the package that failed, and this time
there were no complaints.  I am somewhat mistified as I did not resync.

I do run -j3 which I guess can cause non-determinism.  I don't see any
evidenced of hw failure.
