Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-08 08:13:38 UTC 
Not fixed, still called in pkg_postinst() in 1.0.0; and in src_install() and pkg_postinst() in 0.9.8. 

Anyway, please, mask and remove this ebuild, as noted on Bug 183776
Comment 4 Saleem Abdulrasool (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-11 04:00:53 UTC 
Fixed the 0.9.8 release, the pkg_postinst call is to preserve_old_lib_notify, which is proper.
