Bug 96234 – mailbase-0.00-r9 does not recognise //etc/pam.d/imap as belonging to it

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Jason King 2005-06-15 17:49:09 UTC]

I think this is probably a simple bug somewhere in the ebuild for mailbase where
it is putting in one too many slashes when testing for file collisions.

This also brings up no results in equery:
  equery belongs //etc/pam.d/imap

Whereas this shows what is expected:
  equery belongs /etc/pam.d/imape

This is easy to get past, by just deleting those four files manually, but I
wanted to log it in case it went unnoticed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -1 mailbase
Actual Results:  
 * Checking for possible file collisions...
 * //etc/pam.d/imap exists and wasn't provided by mailbase
 * //etc/pam.d/imap4 exists and wasn't provided by mailbase
 * //etc/pam.d/imap4s exists and wasn't provided by mailbase
 * //etc/pam.d/imaps exists and wasn't provided by mailbase

 * Those files listed above have to be removed in order to
 *  install this version of mailbase.

Expected Results:  
Clean merge.

[Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-06-15 23:20:41 UTC]

The check is removed in mailbase-1. See Bug 94820, comment #2. 

And no, this is (was) not a bug, it was a feature to prevent people from
reporting collision-protect problems and advise them how to solve this.
