NOT a bugzilla bug, this is a gentoo linux bug.

I don't understand, what is the issue here?

What is getting deleted?

Comment 3 gentoo_lan 2004-11-17 15:49:13 UTC

When you type:

qpkg -c -v hotplug 

The output you get is:

sys-apps/hotplug-20040923 *
/var/run/usb !not exist!
/usr/lib/hotplug !not exist!
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware !not exist!
3/49

Are these directories supposed to exist?

Any suggestion as to how to fix this in the ebuild?
