Probably name of unpacked directory is different, so you should change
the source directory for your package variable (${S})

Also you may be interested in joining #gentoo-dev-help irc channel
rather than posting to this mailing list.

Ah, right, I've skipped this variable at first and then I've forgoten its
existence. Thanks!

May I ask why? Is this list dead (just as Gentoo-Performance and
Gentoo-Laptop, for example) or inappropriate for this kind of questions?

It's considered inappropriate for this list, which is primarily for
discussion of official Gentoo development technical issues and policy,
with an eye toward the fact that it's a required subscription for every
Gentoo dev. Questions such as this don't need to bother all several
hundred Gentoo devs and staff, including those on infra or who otherwise
aren't working on ebuilds directly.

If you aren't an IRC type guy (I'm not), there are web forums or the user
list, where you'll likely find help. Of course, the user list is pretty
high volume, off-putting to some, but the way the forums are splitup and
the way they work makes for a more focused discussion.

I just wanted to clarify one thing: gentoo-dev is not a required mailing list
for developers, it is a suggested list to join, nothing more. The required
mailing lists are gentoo-core and gentoo-dev-announce. (The handbook has been
recently updated to reflect this.)
