Description Xavier 2002-04-27 17:51:29 UTC

If I put a dodir in a ebuild to create a directory and this directory remains 
empty between two emerges of the same package, the second emerge deletes de 
directory in the unmerging fase after the emerging one.

I attach an ebuild that gets his /opt/audiogalaxy/shares deleted after two
consecutive emerges of the ebuild.

Known issue to be fixed at a future date; for now, create any important empty
dirs in pkg_postinst()
