emerge samba with the following command: USE="oav readline cups pam -python ldap -kerberos -xml acl -mysql" emerge net-fs/samba emerge failed to install /etc/conf.d/samba and failed to install smbldap-tools. I made a best effort to review the ebuild file to find the problem, but as I am new to gentoo, only half understood what was going on. In attempts to resolve the problem, I re-emerged the package without success. I eventually broke down and installed smbldap-tools from source, and copied conf.d/samba to the proper place. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # USE="oav readline cups pam -python -ldap -kerberos -xml -acl -mysql" emerge net-fs/samba 2. 3. Actual Results: the smbldap-tools package was not installed, and neither was the /etc/conf.d/samba file. Expected Results: Should have installed both the conf file and ldap-tools package.
can you try the latest (still masked) samba-3.0.4-r1 ebuild ? It was nearly completely rewritten, and should work better :)
in a couple of days we plan to mark samba-3.0.4-r1 stable on x86. Please reopen this bug if you encounter the same problems on that version.
