Description Rob Rosenfeld 2005-03-05 16:14:32 UTC

I just updated to mail-mta/courier/courier-0.48.1

It overwrote all files in /etc/courier.  I think that directory should be placed under configuration protection for dispatch-conf / etc-update.


Reproducible: Always

/etc/courier is covered by the overall protection of /etc.
You would have to specifically add /etc/courier to CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK to
make it *not* protect /etc/courier. Otherwise, its already protected.
By default. Unless of course you gave a "-5" while running etc-update.
