Emerging maildrop on my servers with postfix, etc installed now gives the following error: Code: checking for missing gethostname prototype... no checking default PATH for commands... /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin checking for qmail-inject... no checking mail transport agent... /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi checking location of system mailboxes... configure: error: Cannot determine default mailbox configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for maildrop !!! ERROR: mail-filter/maildrop-1.7.0.20040907 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 449, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. I"ve only had these packages emerged, they were not yet in active use. I have postfix, cyrus, dspam and hopefully maildrop in the mix. I have not 'used' this mail server yet, I'm trying to get all the necessary parts emerged. Perhaps if I touched a specific path or file, the config would succeed. But what is it looking for? Update: (all) Four of my servers originally had this. They are all configured wit the same ~x86 profile and make.conf, all emerge worlds happen at roughly the same times. Two of the servers now have successfully emerged maildrop, but I don't know what their configuration difference is. Nominally, there is supposed to be none. Please excuse gratiuitous 753 line build output posted below, but it might give the necessary information to a bug-fixer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I found that on the two servers that have emerged maildrop, the failing configuration line reads as follows: checking location of system mailboxes... /var/spool/mail I don't know how (or by what package) that directory got created on the two working servers. I also don't know if that is the *right* directory for my intended postfix, cyrus, dspam, maildrop configuration. On the non-working servers, creating that directory allows maildrop to be emerged, but the proper operation of maildrop emerged this way remains to be seen. # mkdir /var/spool/mail ; chgrp mail /var/spool/mail # ls -al /var/spool/ total 1 drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 264 Dec 15 19:40 . drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 384 Nov 20 20:22 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 10 20:48 .keep drwxr-x--- 4 root cron 120 Jul 30 22:37 cron drwx------ 3 lp root 72 Feb 5 2004 cups drwxrwx--- 2 root mail 72 Dec 11 00:45 dspam drwxr-x--- 29 cyrus mail 720 Nov 27 13:16 imap drwxrw---- 2 jabber jabber 104 Oct 3 11:54 jabber drwxr-xr-x 2 root mail 48 Dec 15 19:40 mail drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 408 Nov 2 04:20 postfix drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 72 Nov 20 20:18 samba
There is a package remove /var/spool/mail during unmerge (don't know which one yet). Your workaround is re-emerge mailbase to recreate that directory.
Adjusting summary, so this critter won't get lost.

Tuan, any progress here?
Closing this bug, as I couldn't find anything in portage tree that removes the spool dir.
