systemd-247.2-r2 drops systemd's sysusers.d files to fix bug #761763. Great -- except few of my merged acct-* packages had their own sysusers.d files as they were merged before the acct-* eclasses got that functionality, which according to git-log was only on back on Sep. 5 -- and the packages haven't been revbumped since so people upgrade/remerge to get the sysusers.d files. So (unless there's some other mechanism to do it) all the acct-* packages need mass-revbumped so users get the sysusers.d files, preferably before they upgrade to the new systemd that pulls the existing sysusers.d files that systemd provided out from under them. And ideally, a systemd that doesn't provide the files should block old acct-* packages that don't provide them either (well, either that or just generally mask the pre-revbump versions), forcing the acct-* package upgrades when systemd is upgraded. FWIW, I took care of the problem here with an emerge $(equery l -F\$cp acct-group/*) (and a similar command for acct-user).
Technically speaking, all acct-user and acct-group packages should have been bumped when this commit landed. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/eclass/acct-user.eclass?id=0d096cb68e86dd5faa7da8cf68a18e4e29bc9081 However, the sysusers.d files are not generally critical to system operation. They would really only be needed if you are building a system image. People who need them can re-build them.
Re-assigning this to the acct-user.eclass maintainer.
I suppose no harm in doing that. It would be nice to determine which ebuilds are older than the eclass change, though.
