After emerging cyrus-sasl-2.1.14 the saslauthd failed to start with the following error msg: allrounder courier-imap # /etc/init.d/saslauthd start * Starting saslauthd... saslauthd[14264] :main : could not chdir to: /var/lib/sasl2 saslauthd[14264] :main : chdir: No such file or directory saslauthd[14264] :main : Check to make sure the directory exists and is saslauthd[14264] :main : writeable by the user this process runs as. [ !! ] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Expected Results: The solution is to mkdir /var/lib/sasl2
The 2.1.14 ebuild contains... dodir /usr/lib/sasl2 This should create the directory you are referring to.
oops my mistake... not /usr/lib/sasl2... dodir /var/lib/sasl2 anyway... it's still there in the ebuild and I have tested it on multiple system. It creates the directory just fine. Can you paste the output of "emerge info" into this bug?

I cannot recreate this bug... The ebuild contains the correct code to deal with this situation as well. I'm glad it's working besides that little install snafu though. :)
