 * The 'slocate' group has been renamed to 'locate'.

I did :
n22 / # grep locate /etc/group
slocate:x:245:

But a after that a manual command works:
n22 / # groupmod -n locate slocate
n22 / # grep locate /etc/group
locate:x:245:

Uhm? That's what you are supposed to do...

slocate-2.7-r8.ebuild
<snip>
       if [[ -n $(egetent group slocate) ]] ; then
                eerror "The 'slocate' group has been renamed to 'locate'."
                eerror "You seem to already have a 'slocate' group."
                eerror "Please rename it:"
                eerror "groupmod -n locate slocate"
                die "Change 'slocate' to 'locate'"
        fi
</snip>

Also, how is this related to baselayout?

Yes, I know, but the log says:
"* The 'slocate' group has been renamed to 'locate'."

But that was not true, look at the grep output. I had to rename the group manually.

Would you kindly read the *whole* message (as pasted above)?!

Does this 'solution' imply that going forard every Gentoo user will be required to run the groupmod command for every update of slocate that comes in the future? Interesting 'solution'...

Thanks - the groupmod command does work.

No, it obviously doesn't. It won't be an issue with any following release of slocate, until the group changes again.
