For anyone interested: I merged my baselayout-prefix changes with the
latest baselayout-prefix ebuild.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196294 

Who enjoys playing with water and electricity as much as I do, applies
this patch to the ebuild:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=190244

Then, copy all these files into the "files" directory of the package:

- https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=133767 as
  baselayout-1.12.5-sh.patch
- https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=133768 as
  baselayout-1.12.5-src.patch
- https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=133772 as
  baselayout-1.12.5-no-consoletype.patch
- https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=190245 as
  baselayout-1.12.5-pidof.patch

Now you run `ebuild $EBUILD manifest merge` with $EBUILD pointing to the file
you patched earlier. Then you should have the same baselayout as I do.

That allows me to start postgresql and it used to allow me to start
apache well. Can't test the latter. Need to get revdep-rebuild fixed
first. ;)

Cheers! :)
Dirk.
