A long time ago I was having problems with mailman. I posted a question to this list and someone told me that I would have to change the MAILGID in the ebuild to whatever the gid of daemon was. Back then I did that and re-emerged mailman and everything worked. Now I'm facing a similar situation, but I can't apply the same solution because of portage security. I opened the ebuild for mailman and changed the MAILGID variable. I then attempted to re-emerge mailman, but I got this error:

Please try 'emerge sync' and >>> optionally examine the file(s) for corruption. A sync will fix most cases. I can't figure out how to get past it. I am syncing my portage tree as I type this, but I don't see how it will help since I meant to change the value of that variable. Any hints? -- [email protected] mailing list
