Hi, net-misc/rsync-3.1.3 init script refers /var/run: /etc/init.d/rsyncd:pidfile="/var/run/${SVCNAME}.pid"
Created attachment 746727 [details] result of eix-sync original setup was var/db/repos/gentoo. which was getting the same result. changed to var/db/repos/gentoo/portage,samesame
version 3.2.3-r4
At present I'm able to sync with the gentoo.org but not with my local repositories (velladec.in & swin.edu) so I suspect my problems are local rather than bug driven
(In reply to Geoff Madden from comment #1) Your issue has nothing to do with this bug.
