You probably didn't notice the instructions printed out when you emerged http-replicator, which include: " * - run /usr/bin/repcacheman to set up the cache" Although admittedly the startup scripts probably ought check for the directory and suggest the same thing...
Created attachment 394200 [details, diff] patch for hr-v3.0 to suggest running repcacheman Here's a patch so it suggests running repcacheman if the cache directory doesn't exist. I'll probably upload an updated ebuild (with some other enhancements) to bug 442874 soon.
My improved error message is included in version 3.0-r5 from bug 442874.
Do you want to proxy maintain this? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers
fixed in -r5
