Also see Bug 86352 for explanation. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 87429 ***
I still have the problem even after upgrade to coreutils-5.2.1-r6.
Uhm, OK, but then Bug 87429 should be probably reopened, not this one. Just to be sure, what do you get when you run echo foo:bar | cut -d: -f1
$ echo foo:bar | cut -d: -f1 foo $
Hmm, I
Hmm, I´ll reopen the original bug then so that it can be resolved properly. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 86352 ***
I see no evidence yet that it is one and the same problem, bug #86352 seems to be correctly identified & resolved.
do you use nscd ?
Yes, I use nscd. I have at the moment fully up-to-date ~x86 system, so I retried to emerge this package (while nscd running): >>> Merging sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4 to / * Adding group 'messagebus' to your system ... * - Groupid: next available /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 638: 18047 Broken pipe groupadd ${opts} ${egroup} !!! ERROR: sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4 failed. !!! Function enewgroup, Line 716, Exitcode 141 When nscd is shutdown, I get: >>> Merging sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4 to / * Adding group 'messagebus' to your system ... * - Groupid: next available /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 638: 4838 Broken pipe groupadd ${opts} ${egroup} !!!

>>> Completed installing dbus-0.23.4 into /var/tmp/portage/dbus-0.23.4/image/ I have added the gropup messagebus to /etc/group file manually (GID 112), and then I got this: >>> Merging sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4 to / * Adding user 'messagebus' to your system ... * - Userid: 102 * - Shell: /bin/false * - Home: /dev/null * - Groups: messagebus /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 451: 21508 Broken pipe useradd ${opts} ${euser} -c "added by portage for ${PN}" !!!

Function enewuser, Line 611, Exitcode 141 Is I see you add ID 102, so I created also the user, switched group id to 102 too (for consistency) and then retried to emerge dbus, and it finally got through. ;)
