Description:   Opened: 2005-09-08 09:45 0000 
The clamav ebuild creates user and group clamav using enewuser/enewgroup. After
doing so, it calls 

pwconv || die

which IMHO is a Linux specific command converting from /etc/passwd to
/etc/shadow, i.e. not portable. Even under Linux it assumes everybody is using
shadow passwords. It breaks compilation on darwin/osx since darwin uses a
completely different user management (netinfo). If there is the need to do
something like pwconv, it should automatically be done by enewuser. User and
group creation should be done in a consistent manner across all ebuilds.

Most ebuilds that add new users seem to be able to do without pwconv. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

3.

You're right, there's no need for pwconv. Removed in CVS, thanks.
