Subject: [gentoo-user] pam fixed now it's tcpdump
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 23:40:04 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <887523.91376.qm@web31704.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi group,

The gentoo pam-0.99 update guide says something like
"it's safe to remove /etc/pam.d/*". It should say "you
_must_ remove /etc/pam.d/*". So that hurdle was
cleared

emerge -uD world continued then this:
<...>
groupadd: PAM authentication failed
 *
 * ERROR: net-analyzer/tcpdump-3.9.8 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *              ebuild.sh, line 1717:  Called
dyn_preinst
 *              ebuild.sh, line 1156:  Called

 *   tcpdump-3.9.8.ebuild, line   67:  Called
enewgroup 'tcpdump'
 *          eutils.eclass, line  707:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *              groupadd ${opts} ${egroup} || die
"enewgroup failed"
 *  The die message:
 *   enewgroup failed
 *
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error,
and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at
'/var/log/portage/net-analyzer:tcpdump-3.9.8:20080130-072451.log'.
 *
!!! FAILED preinst: 1

google was not forthcoming. I added
'net-analyzer/tcpdump ~x86' to package.keywords but
that didn't help.

Any ideas?

Maxim
