Bug 64118 – >=2.0.51_pre17 ebuilds use -gid option to find which is a GNU extension

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Aaron Walker (RETIRED) 2004-09-15 04:46:04 UTC]

The following line in pkg_postinst() in all ebuilds >=2.0.51_pre17 fails on 
systems whose find utility doesn't support a -gid option (BSD for example).

find "${ROOT}/var/lib/portage" ! -gid $(id -g portage) -o -perm -002 -print0 | ${XARGS} -0n 500 rm -Rvf

Instead, the -group option may be used (it works for both names and numerical ID's ).
