The mcelog cron job that is put in /etc/cron.daily isn't marked as executable so it isn't run. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge mcelog Actual Results: # ls -l /etc/cron.daily/mcelog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48 Nov 19 15:11 /etc/cron.daily/mcelog Expected Results: # ls -l /etc/cron.daily/mcelog -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 48 Nov 19 15:11 /etc/cron.daily/mcelog I guess you should use exeinto/newexe to install the cron job instead.
