The same with any other pieces you have moved out of Firebird's root

That's a problem. I didn't move anything _after_ the reinstall (I
removed the security2.fdb _before_ reinstalling, to be sure it would
be newly created). It's the new Gentoo ebuild that has moved different
parts into different directories and I don't know which is "Firebird's
root directory" now. How can I find out? Or should I report a bug to
Gentoo?
