This makes very little sence. Can you do a ls -al /etc/group /etc/group- and output the result here?
Post emerge info, also...

I think he meant /etc/gshadow and /etc/gshadow- instead, sorry.
# ls -al /etc/gshadow /etc/gshadow- ls: /etc/gshadow-: No such file or directory /etc/gshadow: total 7 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Oct 22 2004 . drwxr-xr-x 63 root root 7000 Sep 20 12:21 ..
Tried copying /etc/gshadow to /etc/gshadow- and re-emerge - no joy. Also created vmware group no joy.
Your /etc/gshadow is a directory? It is *supposed* to be a file.
ok - mv /etc/gshadow /etc/gshadow-safe touch /etc/gshadow Confirm emerge went fine. Still puzzled - why would I have a gshadow as a directory? Given that it's easy to typo in another / - Does this indicate a bug in another package?
forgetting my manners - thanks.
It could very well have been a bug in another package. I'm not sure which would have caused it, but I know it wasn't vmware... :P Anyway, glad to see that you got this resolved.
