Bug 25759 – Not all files created by "emerge ntp" (ntp-4.1.1b-r6) are removed with "emerge -C ntp"

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 8423
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nikolas Garofil 2003-08-02 07:57:35 UTC]

I emerged ntp version "ntp-4.1.1b-r6" with the command "emerge ntp", it created
a lot of files and when i did "emerge -C ntp" all these files got deleted except
the following 2:
"/etc/init.d/ntpd"
"/etc/conf.d/ntpd"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Before you emerge ntp the following command:"ls etc/conf.d/ntpd 
/etc/init.d/ntpd" gives this output:
"ls: /etc/conf.d/ntpd: No such file or directory"
"ls: /etc/init.d/ntpd: No such file or directory"

2. Emerge and remove ntp-4.1.1b-r6 with the command:"emerge
/usr/portage/net-misc/ntp/ntp-4.1.1b-r6.ebuild && emerge -C ntp" 

Actual Results:  
"/etc/conf.d/ntpd" and "/etc/init.d/ntpd" were created but not removed

Expected Results:  
Normally "/etc/conf.d/ntpd" and "/etc/init.d/ntpd" should not exist anymore.

This is a feature not a bug, files in etc won't get deleted by portage, for more information see "emerge --help config"
