Description Eric Pretorious 2005-10-20 20:42:23 UTC

When aimsniff-0.9-r1 is finished merging, portage issues these directions:

 * To create and enable the mysql database, please run:
 * ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-analyzer/aimsniff-0.9/aimsniff-0.9.ebuild config

Note that the 'r1' is missing from the path. i.e., The correct command is...

 ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-analyzer/aimsniff-0.9-r1/aimsniff-0.9-r1.ebuild config

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge aimsniff-0.9-r1
Actual Results:  
Portage issues these directions:

 * To create and enable the mysql database, please run:
 * ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-analyzer/aimsniff-0.9/aimsniff-0.9.ebuild config

Expected Results:  
Portage *should* have issued these directions, instead:

 * To create and enable the mysql database, please run:
 * ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-analyzer/aimsniff-0.9-r1/aimsniff-0.9-r1.ebuild config

Also, the ebuild requests the root password for MySQL but does NOT hide it from
displaying on the screen.

Both is wrong. emerge --config should be used

Comment 2 Eric Pretorious 2005-10-21 11:29:44 UTC

FWIW: The command worked just fine without the two dashes preceding the 'config'
command.
