Bug 67599 – dosbin can fail on osx due to group name

• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 57878
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nick Dimiduk (RETIRED) 2004-10-14 16:25:05 UTC]

dosbin make the assumption of the existance of a group named "root" this group does not exist in later revisions of osx 10.3.5.  This prevents the installation of portage deps, including debianutils.  GID 0 should be used rather than the group name "root".

Isn't this fixed in CVS? My /usr/lib/portage/bin/dosbin from 2.0.51_rc9
says:

    if [ "$USERLAND" == "GNU" ]; then
      install -m0755 -o root -g root  "${x}" "${D}${DESTTREE}/sbin" || exit 4
    else
      install -m0755 -o root -g wheel "${x}" "${D}${DESTTREE}/sbin" || exit 4
    fi
