Description Kaiting Chen 2006-10-15 13:55:16 UTC

I'm not sure if this is deliberate or not, but when CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" is set (by default), files in /etc don't get protected if /etc is a symlink.

If it is deliberate can someone tell me where I would fix this on my computer? (Because my /etc is a symlink).

Thanks.

This may be an issue in <=portage-2.1.1, but I think it should work fine in >=portage-2.1.2_pre1 (part of the fix for bug 14321).

Actually, I found the problem today. In /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py, things work fine if the lstat() calls are changed to stat() calls.
Any chance of getting this merged?
