Hi,

I tried to use "emerge cvs" to install cvs. Downloading, compiling everything runs fine, but finally I get:

>>> Install cvs-1.11.11 into /var/tmp/portage/cvs-1.11.11/image/ category dev-util
 * Adding group 'cvs' to your system ...
 *  - Groupid: next available
 * Adding user 'cvs' to your system ...
 *  - Userid: 101
 *  - Shell: /bin/false
 *  - Home: /var/cvsroot
 * You must add cvs to the system first

!!! ERROR: dev-util/cvs-1.11.11 failed.
!!! Function enewuser, Line 575, Exitcode 0
!!! cvs is not a valid GID

The group cvs was added automatically but the user cvs was not created.

Here is some additional info, if required:
