Description Joël 2004-06-15 07:28:16 UTC 
When unmerging a samba version while it is "down", then pid files don't exist so the /var/run/samba directory gets deleted.

Then, the next emerge samba (of another version) will not recreate the directory, so samba will fail on startup.

samba-3.0.4-r1 (the only one I tested) works well on this. Which version are you talking about?
Comment 2 Joël 2004-06-16 02:10:34 UTC 
It was the latest samba that wasn't in ~x86 yesterday, I think samba-3.0.2a-r2.
Comment 3 Christian Andreetta (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-16 05:53:57 UTC 
i tried samba-3.0.2a-r2 also. No problem with that.
Comment 4 Christian Andreetta (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-17 01:35:29 UTC 
please reopen if there are news
Comment 5 giovanni.bobbio 2004-07-28 03:57:33 UTC 
I had this problem when upgrading to 3.0.5.
I don't have the rights to reopen the bug, though.
Comment 6 Joël 2004-07-28 07:02:40 UTC 
Reopened after Giovanni's confirmation
Comment 7 Christian Andreetta (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-30 03:08:27 UTC 
samba-3.0.5-r1 in cvs. Dir installation rewritten.
See bug #58090 for the changes. i.e.: libs location slightly changed, compiler flags extra checks
