Bugzilla Bug 131034

The link in the URL contains what I experimented and how I solved it (2.4b)

Don't refer to external links for bug description. If makes searching for
duplicates completely useless.

If this is fixed quickly, there should not be any dupplicates.

The problem has been fixed upstream with version 2.b.

DenyHosts exited abnormally
-------------------

The quick fix is to edit the ebuild and add a "b" to the my_P variable like
this:

my_P="${my_PN}-${PV}b"

digest and re-emerge.

Now stop bugging me with bureaucraties.

in cvs, thanks for reporting
