Bug 266246 – eutils.eclass: enewuser/enewgroup do not work when emerging with --root

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Alexey Charkov 2009-04-15 13:10:16 UTC]

I am trying to build a bootable environment using emerge --root=/root/livecd_root --config-root=/root/livecd_conf. The problem I hit is sys-apps/hal not adding the required haldaemon user and plugdev group to the newly-built environment, as I have those in the host system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --root=/root/livecd_root sys-apps/hal
2. grep haldaemon /root/livecd_root/etc/passwd
Actual Results:  
Empty output

Expected Results:  
haldaemon:x:102:1003:added by portage for hal:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin or similar

# emerge --info
