Is seems that openssh-4.0_p1 makefile is changed with respect to previous versions. install-files was split to install-files and install-sysconf, so the line make install-files DESTDIR="${D}" || die should be make install-files DESTDIR="${D}" || die make install-sysconf DESTDIR="${D}" || die Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
it was installed 'by accident' on my system (as marked stable on x86 during a short period). So emerge upgraded from 3.9_p1-r1, it looks ok, but looking at Makefile and this remark, it seems I miss some files. as a remark, make install-nokeys DESTDIR="${D}" || die is equivalent to the two above lines.
fixed in cvs, thanks ! i'll hold off on rev bumping just in case there's another openssh-4.0 bug soon ...
