We've seen a few bug reports about perl modules that have installed things in strange places that have been resolved by reinstalling. I think something got weird with MakeMaker or the perl-module eclass. Thanks in advance.
unfortunately I can't as I'm not administrating that system myself. I'll ask the maintainer to do it.
i saw this problem on an x86 box. emerge -C then installed it again, same results. fyi, during the build: cd spamd; ./configure --prefix="/var/tmp/portage/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63/image//usr" --sysconfdir="/var/tmp/portage/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63/image//usr/etc" --datadir="/var/tmp/portage/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63/image//usr/share/spamassassin" --enable-ssl="yes" that --sysconfdir is obviously wrong.

I'll have a look...
It indeed removed a directory /usr/etc when I re-emerged. I think I upgraded EU::MM in between, so probably something was fishy in there. Or the eclass, who knows. I now have ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.20. If anybody can reproduce this, please report your version.
To fix this, somebody needs to report the version of EU::MM with which he sees this. Else all I can do is closing this as WFM. To print the version, use this command: perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -le 'print $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION'
The ebuild for 3.0 will contain a workaround to make sure that sysconfdir is fixed to /etc, not relying on the logic in Makefile.PL. That should prevent this bug from ever happening again (though still nobody knows *why* it happened). If you encounter this bug, please attach the generated Makefile to this bug.
*** Bug 51437 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Also knowing which version of perl is installed would help on our end, in combination with wether you have an older version of MakeMaker installed or not. We've tried to work around this by blocking both being installed (ie, you either have an older perl with a newer makemaker, or a newer perl and the packaged makemaker). And before I forget, an idea of what's in your @INC (last block generated by perl -V ) - just in case you have a makemaker in your vendor_perl from an old install that is inadvertantly overriding the newer perl's makemaker.
I'm unable to reproduce this (Appears gone in current installs)
Since Spider is OP on this, closing it out. Please submit a bug if this crops up again in current versions. Thanks!
