Description Wojciech Migda 2012-01-23 19:40:29 UTC 
I was emerging net-misc/stunnel-4.44 package and it failed with unability to execute the groupadd command. It was caused by having an old sys-aps/shadow version emerged (sys-apps/shadow-4.0.18.1).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="kerberos" emerge stunnel

Actual Results:  
emerge failed when it was trying to execute groupadd command to create the 'stunnel' group. Unfortunately I no longer have the console output.

After I upgraded shadow to shadow-4.1.4.3 the issue was fixed.

Expected Results:  
emerge stunnel checks for version dependency of the shadow package and emerges its newer version if necessary.

The fix is simple - add dependency on sys-apps/shadow version.

Please keep your system up to date. sys-apps-shadow was removed from the tree in 2007.
