Description Manuel Faux 2008-05-06 19:15:54 UTC

The ebuild of sys-apps/ivman-0.6.14 tells via elog that the user ivman (which is created by this ebuild) was added to the group plugdev; but it was not added to the group.

I don't know if it is necessary that ivman is in the plugdev group, but it's a bit confusing if the elog messages are not correct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sys-apps/ivman-0.6.14.
2. See elog messages after successful emerge.

Actual Results:  
The user ivman has been created, but is not in the group plugdev, as described by the elog messages.

Expected Results:  
The user ivman should be in the group plugdev.

The line which creates the user (line 53 of ebuild):

enewuser ivman -1 -1 /dev/null plugdev
