Description Brian Bilbrey 2002-06-19 22:00:20 UTC

upon receipt of Gentoo security announce re Apache,  
 
I followed instructions per email. 
 
emerge --clean rsync  # No problems 
 
emerge apache 
 
It fetched down the 1.3.26 sources, patches, etc,  
then choked in the pkg_setup routine in the ebuild. 
error message I got before the emerge terminated: 
 
useradd: user apache exists 
 
Mmmmm. I removed the apache user and re-ran.  
the emerge completed.  
 
Bug filed at seemant's request.

You aren't by chance using ldap or nis or some other authentication scheme, are
you? Check Bug #2313 if you are. And submit all the 'try these' commands.

If not...
What version were you upgrading from?
What version of sh-utils are you using? (id --version)

Comment 2 Brian Bilbrey 2002-06-20 11:28:20 UTC

Nothing special on authentication. This is a reasonably freshly built 1.3a 
GCC3.1 system. 
 
Previous Apache version 1.3.24. 
 
bilbrey@goldfinger:/usr/portage/distfiles$ id --version 
id (GNU sh-utils) 2.0.11

I am unable to reproduce this bug. It may be related to bug #2313, and changes
have been made since it's submission. No other reports have been made regarding
this bug, so I'm closing it rather than letting it stagnate.
