Description Andrey 2011-12-26 12:23:04 UTC

When emerging sys-kernel/linux-firmware with USE="savedconfig", it prevents unneeded firmware blobs from installing, but leaves empty directories, that pollutes /lib/modules.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove all but one firmware blob from /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/linux-firmware-*
2. USE="savedconfig" emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware
Actual Results:  
Many empty directories in /lib/firmware

Expected Results:  
No stale empty directories in /lib/firmware
