Hi,
the net-mail/maildrop ebuild uses userdb and look by default in /etc/maildrop.
The problem is that net-mail/courier-imap (and supposedly any other userdb based
app) looks into /etc. It makes the ebuild incompatible with them. (maildrop is
from courier software and you made it incompatible by default ??)
symlinking files doesn't work right (from /etc/userdb to /etc/maildrop/userdb)
that is. The only solution is then to modify the ebuild and remerge it. (with
--with-etc=/etc instead of /etc/maildrop)
may be a dependency with courier imap to set this (if you absolutly want to put
default to /etc/maildrop for a reason i don't know of) would be _very_ welcome.
