Description Georges Toth 2005-08-23 06:59:17 UTC

Please add a use-flag to the net-dns/bind ebuild to enable the 
"--disable-linux-caps" configure option. 
That option is neccessary for bind to run inside a vserver. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get into a vserver 
2.emerge bind 
3.start bind...and see it fail because of disabled system capabilities 
 
Actual Results:  
bind won't start 

Expected Results:  
bind starts

Put -threads into /etc/portage/package.use and you won't have caps.

Comment 2 Georges Toth 2005-08-23 07:34:25 UTC

Ok, I saw in the ebuild that if you disable threads, caps get disabled too. 
 
But can't threads work without caps ? 
 
When I manually configured it, I never disabled threads...only caps.

No, it can't - see Bug 89358. That's the reason why caps has been removed from
use flags (see the ChangeLog).

Allright, thanks for your help then!
