Description roger55 (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-29 14:57:01 UTC
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge net-p2p/mldonkey

fails:
>>> Install mldonkey-2.5.12 into /var/tmp/portage/mldonkey-2.5.12/image/ category net-p2p
gtk
 * Adding user 'p2p' to your system ...
 *  - Userid: 101
 *  - Shell: /bin/bash
 *  - Home: /home/p2p
 * You must add users to the system first

!!! ERROR: net-p2p/mldonkey-2.5.12 failed.
!!! Function enewuser, Line 575, Exitcode 0
!!! users is not a valid GID

this looks like a common problem with other ebuilds that use this function.

I manually added that user with:

useradd -u 101 -s /bin/bash -d /home/p2p -g users p2p

after that it worked fine.

Is that enewuser function broken?

cheers
