Description Tuan Van (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-01 12:49:04 UTC 
portage doesn't install configure file (patch/to/foo) to /etc anyomre if /etc/path/to/ existed and the same package version has been installed.
I'll pick syslog-ng for example.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge syslog-ng
2. syslog-ng has been installed by portage (previous version sometime in the past)
# genlop -t syslog-ng
 * app-admin/syslog-ng

     Wed Aug 18 09:34:26 2004 >>> app-admin/syslog-ng-1.6.5
       merge time: 2 minutes and 12 seconds.

     Fri Oct  1 12:19:13 2004 >>> app-admin/syslog-ng-1.6.5-r1
       merge time: 2 minutes and 6 seconds.

     Fri Oct  1 12:21:35 2004 >>> app-admin/syslog-ng-1.6.5-r1
       merge time: 1 minute and 37 seconds.

     Fri Oct  1 12:25:31 2004 >>> app-admin/syslog-ng-1.6.5-r1
       merge time: 2 minutes and 18 seconds.

After syslog-ng emerged, portage correctly copy the syslog-ng.conf to /etc/syslog-ng/._cfg0000_syslog-ng.conf
I did a etc-update and merged the changed.
3. emerge syslog-ng (again)

Actual Results:  
syslog-ng doesn't get copy to /etc/syslog-ng/

Expected Results:  
syslog-ng get copy to /etc/syslog-ng/._cfg0000_syslog-ng.conf and prompt me to
do a etc-update.

the reason I emerge then reemerge is I am testing some USE flags for an ebuild I
maintained and notice this.

Sorry for the noise.
