Seconded. This appears to be related to the following two lines being commented out in src_install(): #mkdir -p "${D}"/${MYINSTTMPDIR} || die #cp "${TMPENVFILE}" "${D}"/${TMPINSTENVFILE} || die Which causes pkg_postinst() to abort with the error above, as this file cannot be found when pkg_postinst is run. My scenario is an upgrade from 2.5.1p3.
fixed, sorry.
