- Modify comment and add UPDATING entry to explain that MAILDROP_SUID
and MAILDROP_SGID now need to be existing usernames on the destination system. numeric UIDs and GIDs, or non existent usernames, will cause a broken installation since pkgng will skip on the entries of files owned by unknown users. [1] - Fix MGID and MUID PLIST_SUB variables not being set when only one of the two above variables is deifined, again generating a broken package. [2] - While here, remove dirrm.

+
+ Due to the way pkg works please note that the configuration
+ variables MAILDROP_SUID and MAILDROP_SGID, despite keeping their
+ old names, are now required to contain a valid username and
+ groupname existing on the system in which the package will be
+ installed, while in the past numeric uids and gids worked fine.
+
+ Wrong values will cause pkg to skip installing the setuid binaries
+ on the system.
+
+ Please check your configuration.
