Not sure what exactly happened, but it appears that on my computer at least, the rules files had been deleted. What you'll want to try is running 'sa-update', then '/etc/init.d/amavisd zap', then finally '/etc/init.d/amavisd start'. OpenRC thinks that the service is running, since it doesn't really close out normally, so the zap command resets it to a stopped state, allowing you to start it normally after updating your rules files.

There also may be security vulnerabilities in SDDM, I know several versions have been masked because of that. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

In the beginning there were tons of ups and downs as it got stabilized, but it's been pretty smooth lately. There are definitely some kinks that still need to be worked out, and there are only a couple k-applications that have been updated to work with the new frameworks (unless you're willing to go with the live ebuilds). I'd wait till plasma 5.2 is released, or at least in beta. I've heard that a lot of bugs will be ironed out then. Though if you're curious, it's completely usable right now, nothing is currently on fire on my computer! signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I was thinking that it might have been another field, I wasn't even thinking of the year difference. Though I still wonder where he got this program from. It doesn't appear to be in any packages at all, doesn't even seem to be a part of any linux basesystems. -- Dan Oriani redchops.com (Website perpetually under construction) signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I wonder if this is simply a user-made tool. If you look at code examples for this call, it's not terribly difficult to use at all.
