/usr/portage/eclass/user.eclass doesn0t seem to handle the case when a ROOT variable is defined and using getent and groupadd will read/write to the parent system, not the "ROOT target". # see if group already exists if [[ -n $(egetent group "${egroup}") ]] ; then return 0 fi einfo "Adding group '${egroup}' to your system ..."
