Apps in the games-* categories cannot be merged on OSX. OSX doesn't have a groupadd command so the merge dies when they call the enewgroup function. getent also seems to be missing Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge any game >>> emerge (1 of 1) games-misc/wtf-20040124 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) wtf-20040124.tar.gz /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1: getent: command not found * Adding group 'games' to your system ... /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1: getent: command not found * - Groupid: 35 /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 667: groupadd: command not found !!!

It looks like we can adapt http://www2.dougeverly.com:8080/article.php?story=20031028193713159 and add it to enewuser/enewgroup.
eutils.eclass was fixed several weeks ago.
Closing out bugs that've been resolved for a while now...
