For the defaults, line 1 goes into passwd, and 2 into group. portage:x:250:250:portage:/var/tmp/portage:/bin/false portage::250:portage *** WARNING *** For security reasons, only system administrators should be *** WARNING *** allowed in the portage group. Untrusted users or processes *** WARNING *** can potentially exploit the portage group for attacks such as *** WARNING *** local privilege escalation. -- END PORTAGE OUTPUT -- why are all my groups missing? Maybe /etc/group got corrupted somehow? I bumped into this installing @system on a (very) bare system, basically from scratch. I verified that the patch indeed fixes it; Also, I'd like to note that merely remerging @system will reconstruct the most basic /etc/passwd and /etc/group contents, as part of the post-install functions of certain ebuilds (not sure which ones), in fact most of the basic /etc configs can be reconstructed this way, so it would seem to make sense to make portage immune to deficiency of those (or similar) seemingly vital files in general, setting up some sane defaults and carrying on. (which is what the patch does for /etc/group) Issues like this (including bug 330645) should be solved in 2.1.9 by these fixes: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=47b5490fe3f36afee860ecd62fb3052ee2a3b6d4 http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=a75c3cb55fd3a6f8a33a521c12f8d66649020ea8 |
* i'm not sure if this is considered sparc or sparc64 as the kernel is sparc64 yet userland is sparc, including python. i have a fresh install, after emerging gentoo-sources and compiling my adequate kernel i'm trying to remove gentoo-sources as this machine is an ultra 30 300MHz sparc64 2MB L2 cache with 512MB and only 4.2GB of disk (only about 3.9 usable). So any freed up room is pretty much a requirement here. -- BEGIN UNEMERGE -- ark ~ # emerge --unmerge gentoo-sources Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 31, in <module> from _emerge.main import emerge_main File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/main.py", line 17, in <module> import portage File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/__init__.py", line 8758, in <module> from portage.dbapi.vartree import vardbapi, vartree, dblink File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/dbapi/vartree.py", line 28, in <module> from portage.data import portage_gid, portage_uid, secpass File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/data.py", line 88, in <module> _("portage: 'portage' user or group missing.")) + "\n", noiselevel=-1) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/proxy/objectproxy.py", line 31, in __call__ result = object.__getattribute__(self, '_get_target')() File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/proxy/lazyimport.py", line 110, in _get_target _unregister_module_proxy(name) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/proxy/lazyimport.py", line 61, in _unregister_module_proxy object.__getattribute__(proxy, '_get_target')() File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/proxy/lazyimport.py", line 106, in _get_target target = getattr(sys.modules[name], attr_name) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'userpriv_groups' ark ~ # -- END UNEMERGE -- i'm guessing this has to do with something i've done strange, as i'm not too familiar with linux since i've been using solaris/bsd the past years, i don't know what it is. i'm thinking it has something to do with missing groups for some reason? because the only other error i'm getting with this installation is on boot, udevd spits out a bunch of 'unknown group' messages to the console about group 'tape' and 'disk' and 'cdrom' and 'video' and some more. please help! n0ah Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run emerge --unmerge gentoo-sources on my installation 2. 3.
