Description Alexander Kyte 2012-06-25 07:29:39 UTC
* Messages for package dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.25-r2:

 * ERROR: dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.25-r2 failed (postinst phase):
 *   Failed to chown //etc/sasl2/sasldb2
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line  85:  Called pkg_postinst
 *   environment, line 4814:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *           chown root:mail "${ROOT}/etc/sasl2/sasldb2" || die "Failed to chown ${ROOT}/etc/sasl2/sasldb2";

As //etc/sasl2/sasldb2 is likely a typo of /etc/sasl2/sasldb2, I think this bug is caused by a typo.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to install the package.

Please attach the full build log.  Thank you.
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-06-27 01:05:16 UTC
Please do.

And no, a double slash // in a file system path is equivalent to a single one so that didn't cause the issue.
