The ebuild for ntp-4.1.2 adds the ntp user and group in the pkg_setup function. This breaks the ntp package when it's created as a binary since pkg_setup isn't run for binary ebuilds. The only portion of the script that depends on that user and group being there is in pkg_install for the directory /var/lib/ntp and the file /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -B =net-misc/ntp-4.1.2 <-- on machine 1 2. emerge -k =net-misc/ntp-4.1.2 <-- on machine 2 3. /etc/init.d/ntpd start <-- FAILS on machine 2 because there's no ntp user Expected Results: The ntp ebuild should create the appropriate user and group regardless if installed from source or binary.
