I've installed mail-mta/postfix-3.3.1-r1 today without problem on a standard amd64 gentoo box. Since then i've updated the kernel from 4.x to 5.0.7. Following an update of icu, portage wants to re-emerge it, and it fails right from the beginning with this: ~ # cat /tmp/portage/mail-mta/postfix-3.3.1-r1/temp/build.log * Package: mail-mta/postfix-3.3.1-r1 * Repository: gentoo * Maintainer: eras@gentoo.org williamh@gentoo.org * USE: abi_x86_64 amd64 berkdb eai elibc_glibc hardened kernel_linux pam sqlite ssl userland_GNU * FEATURES: preserve-libs sandbox userpriv usersandbox * Applying postfix-libressl.patch ...
