I bet the man-page disappears when you re-emerge traceroute. According to changelog, the patch I mentioned in a different message was introduced without changing the revision number (it doesn't have to because it just fixes a build problem). If you emerged traceroute-2.0.15 before the patch was applied, you got the man-page. Afterwards, it is lost. Regards, Florian Philipp
