tty is part of baselayout's group if you deleted the group, that's your problem
Lovely response. I didn't delete the group myself, thank you very much. I'll obviously get no help here.
- Gentoo doesnt delete the tty group - Gentoo always installs the tty group as part of baselayout somewhere it was lost on your system. you can figure it out on the forums, but it most likely isnt a bug in Gentoo which means it isnt an issue for bugzilla.
