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

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 ?

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.
