Bug 728386 – acct-user/ntp modifies cross-compile host instead of target /etc/passwd

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Johannes Geiss 2020-06-15 16:29:36 UTC]

Using crossdev, portage's acct-user/ntp-0.ebuild does not modify the passwd file on the target system. But it modifies the host system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Host: /etc/passwd contains
ntp:x:123:123:user for ntp daemon; user account removed @ 2020-06-15:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin

armv6j-raspberry-linux-gnueabihf-emerge -av acct-user/ntp-0

After this, passwd contains
ntp:x:123:123:user for ntp daemon:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin

But /usr/armv6j-raspberry-linux-gnueabihf/etc/passwd is not changes as it should be.

This is a general problem with acct-user/*.ebuild.
Maybe acct-group/*.ebuild are also affected.

Actual Results:  
/etc/passwd must not be changed.


Expected Results:  
/usr/armv6j-raspberry-linux-gnueabihf/etc/passwd should be changed.
