When trying to setup a fresh gentoo install using a 2005.0 livecd and stage 1 tarball for x86. I get up to emerge -e system, but it consistently fails on the emerge of dante-1.1.15-r2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go through setup normally. 2. When you do emerge -e system wait for it to get to net-proxy/dante-1.1.15- r2. Actual Results: --- !targe sym /usr/lib/libsocks.so.0 --- !targe sym /usr/lib/libsocks.so --- !targe sym /usr/lib/libdsocks.so.0 --- !targe sym /usr/lib/libdsocks.so >>> original instance of package unmerged safely. * Adding user 'sockd' to your system ... * - Userid: 101 * - Shell: /bin/false * - Home: /etc/socks * - Groups: daemon /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 609: useradd: command not found !!!
