The simple reason is this. Texinfo is merged into the gcc ebuild because |
| 8 |
gcc needs texinfo, and texinfo needs gcc. It's simpler to compile them |
| 9 |
as part of a single build process. The error people are seeing will go |
| 10 |
away as soon as a release a new Portage version. The problem is that |
| 11 |
Portage is not expecting sys-apps/texinfo to be a virtual package. |
