Description:   Opened: 2007-12-01 19:25 0000 
If the group 'slocate' exists on the current system, emerge
sys-apps/slocate-2.7-r8 dies with a message to rename the group 'slocate' to
'locate'.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The system in question is a client on an "NIS" network with a heterogeneous 
cluster of systems. The groups 'slocate' and 'locate' are needed to both exist
due to the needs of other systems.

Actual Results:  
The ebuild fails to emerge due to both groups existing.

Expected Results:  
Please modify pkg_setup() of this ebuild to have an option to install without
strict group checking. Thanks!

Example:
    # just use 'locate' group and ignore presence of 'slocate' group
    NO_GROUP_CHECK='1' emerge slocate

Yeah, so rename it...

------- Comment #2 From Timothy Stotts 2007-12-02 00:30:33 0000 ------- 
I have software that *requires* the presence of both groups.
Perhaps this ebuild should be modified to permit this case?

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.

sounds reasonable ... should be fixed in cvs now, thanks for being anal !
