Description Slava Gorbunov 2007-06-04 19:50:22 UTC
It makes relative symlinks:

/usr/bin/mailq -> exim
/usr/bin/newaliases -> exim

but exim executable is located in /usr/sbin, so these two links get broken.

Reproducible: Always

I can verify that. Same case here.

should be fixed in -r2
Comment 3 Colin Morey (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-02 21:19:47 UTC
fixed and stable in 4.68
