On my server systems, /etc/conf.d/net is a symlink to a git repository in where I locally keep the server configuration files. Installing sys-apps/openrc breaks my symlink due to this piece of code in pkg_preinst: [[ -e "${EROOT}"etc/conf.d/net ]] && \ cp "${EROOT}"etc/conf.d/net "${ED}"/etc/conf.d/ I should be changed to "cp -d" or "cp --no-dereference" or "cp --preserve=links". Reproducible: Always
Actually, this code should be removed entirely.
This was removed in OpenRC-0.12.
