Bugzilla Bug 24158

s. actual vs. expected results

Problem occured with 2.4.4-r1, but I suspect all versions have the same problem

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --update amanda
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
/var/spool/amanda/.amandahosts is overwritten

Expected Results:  
should IMHO be "covered" by etc-update (meaning: the corresponding philosophy of
protected config files)

Portage 2.0.48-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1)

/var/spool/amanda/.amandahosts"

CONFIG_PROTECT should contain only dirs, no files
-> user error

Since it's not been me (the user) who added the
"/var/spool/amanda/.amandahosts"...how can it be my fault?? :-(

My bad.
I've now moved the .amandahosts file to /etc/amanda/amandahosts
and put a symlink at /var/spool/amanda/.amandahosts back to it.
This provides CONFIG_PROTECT without it being there explictly.

I only wanted to protect a single file in /var/spool/amanda, hence I put an absolute path with a filename in previously.

Fixed in CVS now.
