I get this while merging ctags: ---start--- !!! /var/qmail/control/ not found. Config file management disabled for this directory. !!! /usr/share/config/ not found. Config file management disabled for this directory. !!! /usr/kde/2/share/config/ not found. Config file management disabled for this directory. !!! /usr/kde/3/share/config/ not found. Config file management disabled for this directory. ---end--- I've seen this happen before, but reporting it now. Is this normal? I take it because it shows "!!!" it is a significant warning/error.
Those directories are defined in CONFIG_PROTECT in /etc/make.globals Its just complaining that you have directories defined in that variable which don't actually exist... Perhaps portage should suppress these error messages?
Yes, this warning message is annoying and should be removed.
fixed in portage 1.8.6-r3
