Just C&P from mergemaster:

 *** Checking /etc/rc.d for stale files

 *** The following files exist in /etc/rc.d but not in
 /var/tmp/temproot/etc/rc.d/:

 amavisd

 The presence of stale files in this directory can cause the
 dreaded unpredictable results, and therefore it is highly
 recommended that you delete them.

 *** Delete them now? [y]
