Description Ed Catmur 2003-10-27 10:56:16 UTC 
In the sys-apps/partimage ebuild:

chown root.root /var/tmp/portage/partimage-0.6.2/image//etc/partimaged/partimagedusers ;\
fi
chown: `root.root': invalid user
make[2]: *** [install-data-local] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/partimage-0.6.2/work/partimage-0.6.2'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/partimage-0.6.2/work/partimage-0.6.2'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
 
!!! ERROR: sys-apps/partimage-0.6.2 failed.
!!! Function src_install, Line 55, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

This should of course be chown root:root - see Bug 30596

I can work around this by using:
# _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 emerge partimage

I couldn't find a general chown user.group tracking bug to add this to.
