Description Dennis Schridde 2012-09-14 20:52:46 UTC

# q file -v /crontab
sys-process/fcron-3.0.6-r4 (/crontab)

This really should not be there. I believe this part of src_install() is responsible:
        if use system-crontab; then  
                dosym /usr/bin/fcrontab crontab

Probably it should instead be:
                dosym fcrontab /usr/bin/crontab

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Dennis Schridde 2012-09-14 20:54:02 UTC

Same on another machine:
# q file -v /crontab/fcrontab 
sys-process/fcron-3.0.6-r4 (/crontab/fcrontab)

One is ppc64 with ROOT, the other a plain amd64. I suspect the call to dosym never works as intended.
