Please, don't mark bugs as blocker unless your system is unusable.
The bug is in line 84 of ebuild: dovecot-1.0_rc7.ebuild, line 84: Called die It only affects people without ipv6 support. Line 84: use ipv6 && sed -i -e 's/^#listen = \*/listen = \[::\]/g' "${conf}" || die will always exit with die for people who do not have ipv6 support enabled.. so as a workaround either enable ipv6 (temporary) or comment out line and rebuild the package..
Fixed.
