Description Ian Smith 2002-02-17 11:20:53 UTC 
Strange one this, I remerged after running postfix-check because it complained
that /var/spool/portage did not exist.

The lines in the emerge output:

--- /var/spool/
>>> /var/spool/postfix/
>>> /var/spool/postfix/maildrop/

seem to indicate that the dir was created, but an ls confirmed the original
output of postfix-check, ie. not found.

I did a mkdir and postfix-check succeded.

creating ${ROOT}/var/spool/postfix in pkg_postinst() will fix this.

fixed.
