I was trying to create a chrooted 32-bit environment on my AMD64, and when I emerged -au world, the package util-linux failed to compile, with the message chgrp tty /var/tmp/portage/util-linux-2.12r/image//usr/bin/write chgrp: invalid group name `tty' make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/util-linux-2.12r/work/util-linux-2.12r/misc-utils' make: *** [install] Error 1 !!! ERROR: sys-apps/util-linux-2.12r failed. !!! Function src_install, Line 140, Exitcode 2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=3 2. emerge -au world 3. Actual Results: I added tty as a group in the chrooted environment and continued with the instructions. The installation completed perfectly. Expected Results: Perhaps it should have created the tty group.

tty comes from baselayout
(In reply to comment #0) Well, then the instructions in the documentation should be changed to require emerge baselayout first. Actually the group "root" was missing, too, (for debianutils) and I had to add that.
the docs say download a stage3 32bit tarball every tarball has baselayout which means it has a group file with tty
Well, something is fishy. I downloaded the 32-bit stage3 tarball exactly as described in the docs. Is it possible to check and make sure that the (stage 3, 32-bit athlon-xp 2005.1) tarball contains a version of baselayout that has tty (and root, too)?
the stage tarball mentioned in the docs: http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/x86/2005.0/stages/athlon-xp/stage3-athlon-xp-2005.0.tar.bz2 contains an /etc/group file with the tty group not sure which stage you grabbed

that tarball too has a group file with tty defined in it: $ tar jxOf stage3-athlon-xp-2005.1.tar.bz2 ./etc/group | grep tty tty::5:
