Hi, |

Just by accident I noticed during emerge something that may lead to major confusion: the just stabilized openssl-1.0.0-r3 contains the following code: |
4 |
|
5 |
pkg_postinst() { |
6 |
... |
7 |
has_version ${CATEGORY}/${PN}:0.9.8 && return 0 |
8 |
preserve_old_lib_notify /usr/$(get_libdir)/lib{crypto,ssl}.so.0.9.8 |
9 |
} |
10 |
|
11 |
However, portage in my case first updated openssl (slot 0) from 0.9.8 to this version, _printing out the preserve_old_lib_notify message_, and then afterwards installed openssl-0.9.8o-r2. |
12 |
|
13 |
Net result: if I had relied on the elog messages alone, I would have messed up my system by deleting the required files from openssl:0.9.8... |
14 |
|
15 |
I have no clue how this could be improved, though. Any ideas? |

Cheers, Andreas |
