QMAILDIR wart
When building qmail-related packages, they break if QMAILDIR (e.g.
/var/qmail) exists. This causes problems in bulk builds if a builder
has already attempted to install a qmail-related package:
https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/blob/trunk/mail/qmail/INSTALL#L11-L25
pbulk has this wart in client-clean:
rm -rf ${cur_destdir}${varbase}/qmail 2> /dev/null || true
and I've had to add a similar hook to bob to stop lots of packages
failing inside clean build sandboxes.
Can we not just clean up /var/qmail properly on DEINSTALL or similar?
It feels wrong to have to hardcode this manual rm -rf everywhere else.
Thanks,
