Description Maarten Thibaut 2006-02-06 03:49:23 UTC

Hi,

Trying a stage3 build under catalyst2 and portage snapshot 02-02-06, I get an error installing sys-apps/man because it tries to install a new user and group (man/man) using /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass, which uses /usr/sbin/groupadd and /usr/sbin/useradd to add the groups.

Only, shadow isn't installed so the build fails. Either we'll need to make shadow a part of 'system' or we'll need to have man DEPENDing on shadow...

>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
 * Adding group 'man' to your system ...
 *  - Groupid: 15
/usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 735: groupadd: command not found

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/man-1.6-r1 failed.
!!! Function enewgroup, Line 735, Exitcode 127
!!! enewgroup failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
