Description William Throwe 2014-06-14 21:01:35 UTC
On an unmerge:

 * Messages for package sys-power/apcupsd-3.14.8-r2:

 *
 * Directory symlink(s) may need protection:
 *
 *      /var/lock
 *
 * Searching all installed packages for files installed via above symlink(s)...
 *
 * The above directory symlink(s) are all safe to remove. Removing them now...
 *

Luckily I noticed that this message was slightly different from the dozens of times I've seen it before when it was informing me that it didn't do anything.  (Why is there a message for that, anyway?)


Portage should avoid removing symlinks that are important for system function just because the last package affected by bug #332633 was unmerged.
