Description poletti.marco 2012-10-31 10:58:59 UTC

Disclaimer: this bug has been filed in a semi-automated manner.

When emerging the package net-dns/dnssec-tools-1.14, the following elog messages are displayed:

 * Please run 'dtinitconf' in order to set up the required
 * /etc/dnssec-tools/dnssec-tools.conf file
 * DNSSEC Validator has been split into net-dns/dnsval

Such messages should only be displayed when the package is a new install.
These situations can be checked in the ebuild as follows:

if ! has_version 'net-dns/dnssec-tools'; then

See the tracker bug 440214 for more details.

This doesn't test for previously installed, configured, but removed versions with remaining config files.

I know that the test does not check for the config file.

My suggestion was to no longer display the warning after the first install, assuming that the config file was already set up.
However, if it's possible to check for the config file itself as you mentioned, that would be a better check IMHO.
