Currently, vzctl creates a few empty directories when it is installed. These directories are removed upon re-installation of vzctl. The ones I have found are: /vz/template/cache /vz/template /vz/lock /vz/dump /var/lib/vzctl/veip /var/lib/vzctl /usr/lib/vzctl/modules Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install vzctl 2. Immediately re-install vzctl Actual Results: Removes empty directories belonging to vzctl package. Expected Results: Should keep directories belonging to it.
No. It works correctly with newer Portage. Please post the output of: emerge --info

Should be fixed in vzctl-3.0.18-r1 (hopefully).
