Description Douglas Ward 2007-07-02 03:05:50 UTC

pw useradd mail doesn't work if group mail already exists... the user simply doesn't get added.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Douglas Ward 2007-07-02 18:58:03 UTC

look... this is a blocker... it prevents you from installing software.

Kindly review http://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity

Comment 3 Douglas Ward 2007-07-02 22:20:18 UTC

kindly shut your trap... the page you linked me too doesn't change my opinion of this blocking usage of gentoo.

Could the report please attach exact error, emerge --info and USE flags used as courier-authlib emerges just fine here.

(as AT g/fbsd)
the reporter write about "pw useradd mail" not working command. probably he is following some sort of howto/wiki that tell him to create the user/group "mail" for courier; actualy the user/group is automaticaly created by the ebuild itselft:

    enewuser mail -1 -1 /var/spool/mail

so there is not need to manualy create any user/group.

p.s.: as AT g/gfbsd i have checked net-libs/courier-authlib-0.59.2 on a clean stage3 g/fbsd and it compile and work correctly (with postfix), so this bugreport most probably it's a bogus.
