Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2018-02-07 18:16:43 UTC
QA: other
QA Notice: This ebuild installs into paths that should be created at runtime.
 To fix, simply do not install into these directories.  Instead, your package
 should create dirs on the fly at runtime as needed via init scripts/etc...

  var/cache
  var/cache/etckeeper
One or more empty directories installed to /var:

  /var/cache/etckeeper

If those directories need to be preserved, please make sure to create
or mark them for keeping using 'keepdir'. Future versions of Portage
will strip empty directories from installation image.
