Description impulze 2006-12-13 11:54:46 UTC
The <=coreutils-6.7 ebuilds don't recognize the acl useflag as it should. I totally broke my system by unsetting the acl useflag, followed by an "emerge -DNu world" followed by "emerge --depclean". The things that happened are critical.

1.) The acl useflag got disabled and was as such recognized by the dependency checking, so it would be removed by a immediately --depclean.

2.) An "emerge -DNu world" would re-build my coreutils package _without_ linking the binaries against acl. But there's no such thing as "${use_enable acl}" in ebuilds prior to version 6.7 and so the configure procedure still finds the acl libraries and linked it against those.

3.) "emerge --depclean" then removed acl and that totally broke my system.

So please fix the ebuilds for current versions too.

Greetings,

I emerged acl and then coreutils without the "acl" useflag set, and everything got linked against libacl.so.
