Description G. Gibson 2008-03-24 03:15:19 UTC

the /etc/foremost.conf file is placed correctly, but the program makes mention of using /usr/local/etc/foremost.conf which does not exist by this ebuild.  This should be corrected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge foremost
2. foremost [options] blah blah
3.

Actual Results:  
using configuration file at /usr/local/etc/foremost.conf

Expected Results:  
using configuration file at /etc/foremost.conf

for now I put a link at /usr/local/etc pointing to /etc/foremost.conf
it now picks up my settings.

Thanks for the report.  Turns out I wasn't applying a patch from 1.4 on the 1.5 ebuild.  I've now fixed that and bumped the version to 1.5.3.  Please feel free to reopen if you're still having problems...  5:)
