Bug 35298 – Qmail does not compile on a fresh load of gentoo

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Spicer T. Matthews 2003-12-07 17:39:33 UTC]

I just installed gentoo a few weeks ago and have not had any problems with it. 
I am useing the stable x86 branch so I would think everything should just 
compile with emerge package name.  I have not been able to get qmail to compile 
the output is below. 
 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge qmail 
2. 
3. 
Actual Results:

1. what are you using for your user systems (ldap/db/files)?
2. did you delete the qmail* entries in /etc/{passwd,group} that was installed by baselayout?

i'm fairly certain #2 happened.
re-install baselayout and keep those entries!

[Comment 2 Robin Johnson 2003-12-25 19:20:49 UTC]

no response from user, closing bug.

[Comment 3 Kris Kelley 2004-01-27 10:03:27 UTC]

Shouldn't the qmail ebuild create the necessary /etc/passwd and /etc/group entries?  Not everybody who uses Gentoo will want to install qmail, and those entries are kind of useless without qmail.

[Comment 4 Robin Johnson 2004-01-27 12:50:28 UTC]

skunkworx: they may be useless without qmail installed, but they don't do any damage in that case either, and adding users/groups is a sticky issue with ebuilds for the moment (so for a long time the policy has been to file them with baselayout so there is one source of /etc/{passwd,group} and allow users to etc-update easier because of that).

[Comment 5 Kris Kelley 2004-02-05 18:05:49 UTC]

Robin Johnson:  Understood.  Thanks for explaining.
