 * Gaarde suggests you make a cron.monthly to run the following:
 *    /usr/bin/rfc -i
/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1649: /var/tmp/portage/app-text/rfcutil-3.2.3/temp/environment: No such file or directory


This is the pkg_postinst routine - it runs rfc -i, which seems to fetch stuff from a webserver (wtf?) and that fails.

removed it out of pkg_postinst. Hopefully it works well now.

Seems to work on commandline for me.
