Description Erich Heintz 2002-07-28 19:05:11 UTC

Yesterday (27JUL02) had a problem with Net-SSLeay and others that was resolved
with http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=9829

This seems to be a non-issue as of an rsync today. However, now it seems that
certain packages are installing files into /

In particular

NetSSLeay installs Net-SSLeay-1.15.pod to /
XML-Parser installs XML-Parser-2.31.pod to /
XML-RegExp installs XML-RegExp-0.03.pod to /
Webmin installs uninstall.sh to /

These are all I've come across so far. This is on a fresh 1.2 install that has
been emerge -u world this morning.

The system is about as generic as it gets. Athlon-tbird 1200 using basic
gcc-2.95.3 i686 optimizations

I shall have a look at this, though this might be a portage issue.  Will
investigate, anyway

As of an rsync @ 17:30 EDT the issue will the .pod files seems to be resolved,
however webmin still installs uninstall.sh to /

Testing for the new eclass is done, all modules and packages have been updated,
and this has been commited. Thanks for your patience,

Michael
