Description ObNox 2004-08-31 05:40:53 UTC

When emerging net-misc/dhcp, the user 'dhcp' is created in function src_install() instead of pkg_preinst() which leads to some problems.

I precompile packages on a strong machine to deploy to many servers. Once net-misc/dhcp is a tbz2 package, it does not execute src_install() anymore which prevents the creation of the user 'dhcp' !

User creation, on a general basis, should always be created on pkg_preinst() function to make sure it works in ALL conditions.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -bv dhcp
2. copy the generated package to a fresh gentoo install (/usr/portage/packages)
3. emerge -Kv dhcp

Actual Results:  
User 'dhcp' isn't created !
