That doesn't look good. Please post your `emerge --info' (quickly, because I'm assigning now).

I don't see why it would want to (re)create symlinks from /usr/bin/something to /usr/lib/eselect-postgresql/binwrapper anyway - the wrapper is there to exec the appropriate /usr/lib/postgresql-${slot}/bin/* anyway, so the symlinks might as well be permanent and need never change after an `eselect postgresql set' change.
Interesting. I'm currently overhauling the eselect program. I've been considering dropping the binwrapper script. This seems like as good an excuse as any.

Please review app-admin/eselect-postgresql-1.0.3. It should resolve this issue.
(In reply to comment #9) > Please review app-admin/eselect-postgresql-1.0.3. It should resolve this issue. Looks better now, thanks :)
Reopening because >app-admin/eselect-postgresql-1 isn't unmasked yet. Additionally, I've recently added 1.0.4 to the tree which should resolve a few more potential issues.
02 Apr 2011; Aaron W. Swenson <titanofold@gentoo.org> -eselect-postgresql-1.0.3.ebuild, -eselect-postgresql-1.0.4.ebuild, +eselect-postgresql-1.0.6.ebuild: Remove obsolete ebuilds. Fixes bugs #327441, 352147 and 292122.
