Gentoo Prefix Errors: Aborting due to QA concerns: there are files installed outside the prefix

Just like it sounds, the package you are trying to emerge is attempting to write files outside of your prefix. Depending on the situation it may be that there is no fix, but it is possible that upgrading eselect or portage and re-syncing the portage tree will solve the problem – as was the case for me this morning when attempting to emerge -e system with the distributed portage snapshot:

>>> Completed installing ncurses-5.9-r02.1 into /Users/karma/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r02.1/image/
