Bug 480308 – app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.7 - equery files mail-mta/nullmailer: !!! /var/nullmailer/trigger has unknown type: fif

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description redneb 2013-08-09 02:52:28 UTC]

I just emerged mail-mta/nullmailer which installs a named pipe (/var/nullmailer/trigger). This is recorded in /var/db/pkg/mail-mta/nullmailer-1.13/CONTENTS as follows:

fif /var/nullmailer/trigger

When I now run 'equery files mail-mta/nullmailer', equery fails with the following error:

!!! /var/nullmailer/trigger has unknown type: fif

This looks some kind of merge failure to me.

Please attach  the CONTENTS file to this bug.  Also re-emerge the pkg in question and re-test.

OH, forgot.  Also post your emerge --info mail-mta/nullmailer

I am getting the same error in 3 different machines. I tried to re-emerge in one of them but nothing changed.
