< jmbsvicetto> That pkg_preinst should be pkg_setup < Sakkath> bug report? < jmbsvicetto> Yes, I'll do that < jmbsvicetto> You can say that currently *ALL* amavisd-new ebuilds have that error! < Sakkath> is that true? < jmbsvicetto> grep -B 4 enewuser /usr/portage/mail-filter/amavisd-new/amavisd-new-2* shows that ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------ I had amavisd-new installed (2.5.0) and I unmerged and did userdel amavis and then the remerge did not readd the user. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge amavisd-new 2. userdel amavis 3. emerge amavisd-new Actual Results: The user/group amavis does not exist and at the end of the merge you'll see: chown: `root:amavis': invalid group chown: `amavis:amavis': invalid user Expected Results: Readded the user. Ask jmbsvicetto on IRC (Freenode/#Gentoo-netmail), he was the one who told me this is wrong.
Ah, sorry about that. I have moved both enew* calls to real pkg_preinst() - it's better when it's added after the package is ready to be installed - src_compile() or src_install() phase may fail and we don't want the user added in that case. Feel free to reopen or ping me on IRC if you disagree.
Thanks a lot =).
