After emerging dsniff-2.3-r3 and trying to run dsniff it says... dsniff: couldn't open /etc/dsniff/dsniff.services After searching for the file it is located in /usr/dsniff.services. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge dsniff-2.3-r3 2.run "dsniff" Actual Results: dsniff: couldn't open /etc/dsniff/dsniff.services Expected Results: Not produced error message I've tried unmerging and remerging and same thing. A simple fix is to do an ln -sf /usr/dsniff.services /etc/dsniff/dsniff.services However, the file should go directly into the etc folder so a move might be more appropriate.

Created attachment 54795 [details] This ebuild should resolve this issue. All I changed in this ebuild is the mv from /usr/lib to /usr/ because that is where the files actually end up.
I fixed the issue, it just needs to be added to the portage tree.
Now in CVS, thanks for reporting and solving the bug. In the future, please do two things: 1) post a diff instead of the whole ebuild, it makes it easier to read, 2) don't mark the bug resolved fixed or it may be ignored.
