Description Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-11 05:11:04 UTC 
It happened with kde 3.1.1, and then again with 3.1.1a, my 
/usr/kde/3.1/share/config/kdm/kdmrc 
gets overwritten after update (no .cfg files created) even if the dir is correctly listed in 
CONFIG_PROTECT, as you can see from `emerge info`. 
All my settings are lost. 
 
  Portage 2.0.48_pre2 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4)

Comment 1 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-25 06:03:12 UTC 
This looks like a portage specific bug. As a start, which portage version do you use?
Comment 2 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-25 09:12:12 UTC 
nick: does CONFIG_PROTECT include subdirs ?
Comment 3 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-25 12:30:47 UTC 
It happened last time with 2.0.48_pre2, but also with 2.0.47-r12 or r13 first.
Another question: Is it normal that in CONFIG_PROTECT some dirs are separated by ':' and some others by spaces?
Comment 4 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-28 03:44:18 UTC 
That is not correct.
Colons are not legal delimiters for that.
