upon receipt of Gentoo security announce re Apache, I followed instructions per email. emerge --clean rsync # No problems emerge apache It fetched down the 1.3.26 sources, patches, etc, then choked in the pkg_setup routine in the ebuild. error message I got before the emerge terminated: useradd: user apache exists Mmmmm. I removed the apache user and re-ran. the emerge completed. Bug filed at seemant's request.
You aren't by chance using ldap or nis or some other authentication scheme, are you? Check Bug #2313 if you are. And submit all the 'try these' commands. If not... What version were you upgrading from? What version of sh-utils are you using? (id --version)
Nothing special on authentication. This is a reasonably freshly built 1.3a GCC3.1 system. Previous Apache version 1.3.24. bilbrey@goldfinger:/usr/portage/distfiles$ id --version id (GNU sh-utils) 2.0.11
I am unable to reproduce this bug. It may be related to bug #2313, and changes have been made since it's submission. No other reports have been made regarding this bug, so I'm closing it rather than letting it stagnate.
