Description Dustin C. Hatch 2011-02-12 18:59:48 UTC 
The net-analyzer/pmacct-0.12.5 ebuild installs ``pmacctd.conf`` in ``/etc``, but the default configuration for the ``pmacctd`` init script looks for the configuration file at ``/etc/pmacct/pmacctd.conf``.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -av pmacct
2. rc-service pmacctd start

Actual Results:  
``pmacctd`` fails to start with the following error::

     * You need an /etc/pmacct/pmacctd.conf file to run pmacctd

Expected Results:  
``pmacctd`` should have started with the default configuration

Odd, that. It worked for Marcin Mirosław in bug #306837).

I'm sure he manually placed a ``pmacctd.conf`` in the new directory. The ebuild certainly doesn't create one::

    $ equery files net-analyzer/pmacct-0.12.5 | grep pmacctd.conf
    /etc/pmacctd.conf

+  30 Jul 2011; Patrick Lauer <patrick@gentoo.org> +pmacct-0.12.5-r1.ebuild:
+  Config file location fix for #354649

init script pointed at different path, so I changed the location of the config file. Hope that's ok for everyone ...
