It seems your build has Python support enabled. Is this an official Gentoo
build? The Python support is supposed to be experimental...
Anyway, this problem should be fixed with rev 36923: now we'll deliver the
directory it is now complaining about not existing.

The error messages sound like a zlib problem. You have libz 1.2.5 which I
thought was supposed to be OK.
Which error is the capture file supposed to be related to: the errors above or
the buffer overflow? I don't get either when loading that capture file.
