Bug 80506 – vpopmail fails to merge w/ userpriv usersandbox in FEATURES

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joshua Kinard 2005-02-02 13:00:16 UTC]

Don't have the specific error message (on a different box), but vpopmail will not merge if portage runs as a non-privileged user.  Configure will die with an error stating that its configure must be run as the root user right at the tail end.  Removing 'userpriv' and 'usersandbox' from FEATURES resolved the issue.

portage bug?

# grep RESTRICT /usr/portage/net-mail/vpopmail/*.ebuild
/usr/portage/net-mail/vpopmail/vpopmail-5.4.0-r1.ebuild:RESTRICT="nouserpriv"
/usr/portage/net-mail/vpopmail/vpopmail-5.4.6-r1.ebuild:RESTRICT="nouserpriv"

What portage version?
emerge info

The output would be helpful, and also another run with: emerge -d vpopmail

Conversion over to supporting RESTRICT="userpriv" horked it (logic error), corrected in portage stable cvs.

[Comment 5 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2005-02-03 10:00:33 UTC]

Having both userpriv and nouserpriv in RESTRICT is a temp fix.

[Comment 6 Robin Johnson 2005-02-20 22:00:27 UTC]

I've put in the workaround of having both userpriv and nouserpriv in RESTRICT.
