slep noticed and reported an odd thing:

$ euse -i kate
...
ls: cannot access /gentoo/portage/metadata/cache/kde-base/kdebindings-perl-*: 
No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /gentoo/portage/metadata/cache/kde-base/kdebindings-ruby-*: 
No such file or directory
...

The dirs they don't contain ebuilds. Only metadata.
KDE team is aware and fixing their orphans.

I've decided to write a hack to find such instances in tree:

$ ./find_empty.sh ~/portage/gentoo-x86/
kde-base/kdeaccessibility-colorschemes
kde-base/kdeaccessibility-iconthemes
kde-base/kdebase-wallpapers
kde-base/kdebindings-csharp
kde-base/kdebindings-perl
kde-base/kdebindings-ruby
kde-base/kvtml-data
kde-base/smoke
media-plugins/mytharchive
media-plugins/mythbrowser
media-plugins/mythgallery
media-plugins/mythgame
media-plugins/mythmovies
media-plugins/mythmusic
media-plugins/mythnetvision
media-plugins/mythnews
media-plugins/mythweather
x11-themes/mythtv-themes

Is there any reason to leave such ebuildless directories?

Thanks!
