When aimsniff-0.9-r1 is finished merging, portage issues these directions: * To create and enable the mysql database, please run: * ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-analyzer/aimsniff-0.9/aimsniff-0.9.ebuild config Note that the 'r1' is missing from the path. i.e., The correct command is... ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-analyzer/aimsniff-0.9-r1/aimsniff-0.9-r1.ebuild config Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge aimsniff-0.9-r1 Actual Results: Portage issues these directions: * To create and enable the mysql database, please run: * ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-analyzer/aimsniff-0.9/aimsniff-0.9.ebuild config Expected Results: Portage *should* have issued these directions, instead: * To create and enable the mysql database, please run: * ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-analyzer/aimsniff-0.9-r1/aimsniff-0.9-r1.ebuild config Also, the ebuild requests the root password for MySQL but does NOT hide it from displaying on the screen.
Both is wrong. emerge --config should be used
FWIW: The command worked just fine without the two dashes preceding the 'config' command.
