Bug 19211 – slocate 2.7-r1 install fails.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adam Hixson 2003-04-12 14:41:56 UTC]

In the install part of the slocate ebuild, it tries to add the slocate group to
/etc/groups using the groupadd command.  This causes a sandbox violation on my
machine.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge --update slocate
Actual Results:  
make  install-exec-hook
make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/slocate-2.7-r1/work/slocate-2.7'
/usr/sbin/groupadd slocate

I've gotten the exact same error too so I'm downgrading to the prior version of findutils til it gets fixed.

I confirm exactly the same behavior, as well 

[Comment 4 Andrea Cerrito 2003-04-12 19:45:58 UTC]

Me too.

This is already fixed, rsync and try again... I did a bunch of lil' fixups on the ebuild :)
