Description Alexander Skwar 2006-06-21 05:38:34 UTC 
In the mit-krb5-1.4.3-r1, there's in pkg_postinst:

    ewarn "PLEASE READ THIS"
    einfo "This release of mit-krb5 now depends on an external version"
    einfo "of the com_err library.  Please make sure to run revdep-rebuild"
    einfo "to ensure the integrity of the linking on your system"

The new elog system can mail and/or save "warn" messages (and also "info" messages). If it's set to mail only messages of level "warn", a message containing only the following is generated:

WARN: postinst
PLEASE READ THIS


That's not really helpful.

I'll attach a patch against the ebuild, which will change the "einfo" to "ewarn".
