[xpunkt]

i am gentoo maintainer on fuglu, while its installed fuglu says its not installed, and i dont know how to find or resolve the problem, so adding it here in hope some can help me resolve it

Can you describe how to reproduce it and the expected output.

[xpunkt]

sorry only how to in gentoo

emerge dev-python/pymilter
emerge --autounmask-write --autounmask mail-filter/fuglu
etc-update
emerge mail-filter/fuglu

fuglu --lint

says libmilter is not installed

is this a python 2 problem in fuglu ?

[xpunkt]

missed to say fuglu is currently only in ::fidonet overlay

so add

emerge layman
layman -a fidonet

to get that added

No, it means libmilter (a C library) is not installed.

but pymilter on gentoo depends on libmilter, and i have it installed, so problem is in fuglu ?, it should not test for libmilter but test that pymilter is installed, its a job for pymilter not to support python 2 anymore, fuglu 0.10.7 is not supporting python 2 now

I know nothing about fuglu, but on Fedora and other distros there is a separate libmilter-devel package that you need to install in order to build packages that link against it.
