Hi,

as mentioned in summary, ncftp-3.2.0 is installing /ESTDIR which is empty and imho shouldn't go into /

For now, I fix it this way but I don't know if ESTDIR is needed by ncftp:

--- /usr/portage/net-ftp/ncftp/ncftp-3.2.0.ebuild       2006-09-04 11:25:17.0000
00000 +0200
+++ /usr/local/portage/net-ftp/ncftp/ncftp-3.2.0.ebuild 2006-09-05 12:59:44.0000

        emake install DESTDIR="${D}" || die
        dodoc README.txt doc/*.txt
        dohtml doc/html/*.html
+       # removing useless empty dir /ESTDIR
+       rm -rf "${D}"/ESTDIR || die "rm /ESTDIR failed"
 }

Cheers
