Description Maciej S. Szmigiero 2019-10-17 18:43:06 UTC 
Please convert net-misc/ntpsec to use acct-{user,group}/ntp, as opposed to
calling enewuser and enewgroup directly from the ebuild.

Currently, when one migrates from net-misc/ntp to net-misc/ntpsec the account
packages become orphan and are removed by depclean (locking the ntp user account
in process).

The patch from comment 3 of bug 696896 does not seem to modify the ebuild
user / group dependency in any way.

Https://bugs.gentoo.org/695088#c4 ack, what I get for copy paste edit without checking. The 'mostly unrelated' glep-0081 patch.

This has been added to 1.1.7-r1 and 9999 (along with a few other fixes).
