I'm doing currently stage1 install and emerging system packages in somewhat inapproriate order... livecd / # emerge openct Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-libs/openct-0.5.0 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) openct-0.5.0.tar.gz * Adding group 'openct' to your system ... * - Groupid: next available /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass: line 739: groupadd: command not found !!! ERROR: dev-libs/openct-0.5.0 failed. !!! Function enewgroup, Line 739, Exitcode 127 !!! enewgroup failed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Troubles went away after emerging sys-apps/shadow. Solutions: 1) quick fix - add sys-apps/shadow dep to dev-libs/openct 2) more general (and harder to do) - integrate sys-apps/shadow dep into eclass/eutils.eclass
The deps in eutils.eclass definitely need to be reviewed.
added shadow to DEPEND for the time being *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 53269 ***
