I just installed gentoo a few weeks ago and have not had any problems with it. I am useing the stable x86 branch so I would think everything should just compile with emerge package name. I have not been able to get qmail to compile the output is below. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge qmail 2. 3.

1. what are you using for your user systems (ldap/db/files)? 2. did you delete the qmail* entries in /etc/{passwd,group} that was installed by baselayout? i'm fairly certain #2 happened. re-install baselayout and keep those entries!
no response from user, closing bug.
Shouldn't the qmail ebuild create the necessary /etc/passwd and /etc/group entries? Not everybody who uses Gentoo will want to install qmail, and those entries are kind of useless without qmail.
skunkworx: they may be useless without qmail installed, but they don't do any damage in that case either, and adding users/groups is a sticky issue with ebuilds for the moment (so for a long time the policy has been to file them with baselayout so there is one source of /etc/{passwd,group} and allow users to etc-update easier because of that).
Robin Johnson: Understood. Thanks for explaining.
