 Posted: Thu May 09, 2024 1:55 pm Post subject: [Solved]Several packages fail emerge with error Invalid user |
 |
|
[Update: I got no replies to this post, but my "workaround" below seems to have done the trick, so I'm marking it solved]
I'm working on a newly installed system (my first that is profile 23.0 from the get-go). It is an arm64 system built with Gentoo's current openrc stage3 (https://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/arm64/autobuilds/current-stage3-arm64-openrc/stage3-arm64-openrc-20240505T234912Z.tar.xz). The system is functioning, and I am adding my usual headless server stuff to it. However, several packages fail in the install phase with error | Code: | | chown: invalid user: xxx:xxx |
where "xxx" is a typical user:group associated with the package. All three of apache2, ldap, and chrony do this.apache2 - "chown: invalid user: apache:apache" follows immediately after message "Installing man pages and online manual"
ldap - "chown: invalid user: ldap:ldap" follows immediately after installing files in .../image/usr/share/man/man8
chrony - "chown: invalid user: ntp:ntp" follows immediately after installing files (with cp and chmod) in .../image/usr/share/man/man8 and then reporting "make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/net-nds/openldap-2.6.6-r2/work/openldap-OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2_6_6-.arm64/doc' which follows similar messages starting "make[3] and make[2]
Investigating, I notice that on this new system there are no entries in /etc/shadow or /etc/gshadow for these user/group names. However, on a similar working system that I recently upgraded from profile 17.1 to 23.0, there are /etc/shadow entries, as follows --...
ntp:!:19604::::::
ldap:!:19625::::::
apache:!:19625::::::
and on the similar older system, there are /etc/gshadow entries for them, as follows --ntp:!::
mail:!::
mysql:!::
ldap:!::
apache:!::
Investigating further, I find that acct-user and acct-group packages ARE installed for these -- | Code: | # eix -c ntp
[I] acct-group/ntp (0-r3{gpkg}@03/24/2024): System group: ntp
...
[I] acct-user/ntp (0-r3{gpkg}@03/24/2024): user for ntp daemon
...
[I] net-misc/ntp (4.2.8_p17-r2{gpkg}@05/07/2024): Network Time Protocol suite/programs
# eix -c apache
[I] acct-group/apache (0-r3{gpkg}@05/08/2024): System group: apache
[I] acct-user/apache (0-r3{gpkg}@05/08/2024): System user: apache
[I] app-admin/apache-tools (2.4.59{gpkg}@05/08/2024): Useful Apache tools - htdigest, htpasswd, ab, htdbm
...
# eix -c ldap
[I] acct-group/ldap (0-r2{gpkg}@05/08/2024): System group: ldap
[I] acct-user/ldap (0-r2{gpkg}@05/08/2024): A user for ldap
...
|
Work-around -- I found that re-emerging these acct-user and acct-group packages fixes the problem.
Questions:
First, I'm wondering why are these user:groups missing from the new system?
Next, what other user:groups might be missing that I just haven't noticed yet?
Answered my own question, comparing list of installed acct-user and acct-group packages to the contents of /etc/passwd -- used this to extend "workaround" to other missing user/group names -- | Code: |
# eix-update && eix -Ic acct-*/* | grep '\[[I]\]'> /home/joe/temp
# emerge -av1 $(for z in $(for x in $(while read line; do entry=$(echo $line | cut -d' ' -f2); echo $entry; done < /home/joe/temp); do user=$(echo $x | cut -d'/' -f2); echo $user; done | sort -u); do echo -n "$z: "; ans=$(grep -i ^$z /etc/passwd); [ -n "$ans" ] && echo "found - $ans" || echo "not found"; done | grep "not found" | cut -d':' -f1) |
And - is my work-around the "right" way to fix this?
I have not filed a bug against any of these packages -- not sure it's their job to install these users... is it?

| Code: | emerge `qlist -Iq | grep 'acct-'`
|
was probably overkill but re-emerging acct-group/ntp & acct-user/ntp did fix my chrony service, and even allowed me to
| Code: | /etc/init.d/systemd-tmpfiles-setup restart
|
with no errors (I was getting an "ntp user does not exist" before)
As you say, it is strange that these group/user had to be remerged,.. but I am used to workarounds when I do emerge @world after a long break  |
