Description Julien Cayzac 2003-09-06 05:42:52 UTC

pkg_postinst() does the following:
    /etc/init.d/webmin stop >/dev/null 2>&1
    stopstatus=$?
    ...calls setup.sh from /usr/libexec/webmin
    if [ "$stopstatus" = "0" ]; then
        # Start if it was running before
        /etc/init.d/webmin start
    fi

This is *wrong*. If port 10000 is taken by another app when we emerge webmin, it
won't report any error but setup.sh won't install anything in /etc/webmin!
emerge should fail if port 10000 is taken.

i don't know any other apps on 10000
we can't check every circumstand.

you still have to think about your system-cfg.
