Bug 6882 – postfix-1.1.11-r5.ebuild Typo

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris Williams 2002-08-22 07:13:44 UTC]

Emerging postfix-1.1.11-r5.ebuild (and -r4) creates an extraneous directory
called 0755 in the current working directory.   This is the result of a broken
install command in the pkg_postinst() function.   

Here's a patch (assuming it makes -r6):

 pkg_postinst() {
-       install -d 0755 ${ROOT}/var/spool/postfix
+       install -d -m 0755 ${ROOT}/var/spool/postfix

        if [ "${postfix_installed}" = "yes" ] ; then
                ewarn "If you've upgraded from <postfix-1.1.8, you must update"

That isn't the only problem.  If you have sasl v2 installed, it is trying to
copy a non-existant file "smtpd2.conf" that is supposed to be in the files dir.
 I looked in the "Attic" on cvsweb and it isn't there either.  I guess it should
have been committed, but wasn't?

Updates have been made to the 1.1.11-r5.ebuild.  Please install and test and 
report back on this bug report.  The updated ebuild should be available in 
portage within 24 hours.

Extraneous directory problem fixed.  Thanks for the quick response.

Yup, it's working for me as well...

Closing bug due to success reports.
