Bugzilla Bug 96632

This program compiled well in the amd64 platform and it maked succesfully the   
tests.    

It created the /chroot/xmail/var/MailRoot/ folder.  

/chroot/xmail/var/MailRoot/bin/XMail exixts.  

The variables in /etc/conf.d/xmail are all OK (fot what regards the path)  

The problem is here:  

        start-stop-daemon --start -c xmail -r ${CHROOT} \  
                --startas ${MAIL_EXEC} --pidfile=${MAIL_PID} -- \  
                ${MAIL_CMD_LINE}  


From /etc/conf.d/xmail  


CHROOT="/chroot/xmail"  
MAIL_ROOT=/var/MailRoot  
export CHROOT MAIL_ROOT  

# variables for simplicity sake  
MAIL_NAME=XMail  
MAIL_EXEC=/var/MailRoot/bin/$MAIL_NAME  
MAIL_PID=/var/run/$MAIL_NAME.pid  

I'm not sure, but I think this is not related to the "amd64", or yes? 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86 emerge xmail  
2.(a base configuration) 
3./etc/init.d/xmail start 


Actual Results:  
* Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)... 
 * Starting XMail ... 
start-stop-daemon: Unable to start /var/MailRoot/bin/XMail: No such file or 
directory

Definitely not amd654 specific, I had the same problem on x86 when I tried
last;
the whole thing is pretty *ahem* non-standard. 

so I'm changing description accordingly ;) 

the problem seems to be in the chroot (/chroot/xmail) and in the change of user 
(xmail). 

I did a initscript without these 2 and it runs. (as root and without 
chroot :/ ) 

Is there a way to get it working as planned by portage? 

(In reply to comment #3)

Maybe we found the problem, so two questions:

1/ Do you have net-firewall/iptables installed?

2/ Is CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT enabled (either as a module or compiled into
kernel) on your box?

Created an attachment (id=62262) [edit]
Added RDEPEND on net-firewall/iptables and checks for needed kernel config
options

I commited new ebuild with the fix (without revision bump), please wait for an
hour or so, sync portage tree, reemerge xmail then try again.
Jacob, thanks for the patch.
