 |
|
Hi all,
Please consider the following example:
| Code: | $ cat cortex-0.ebuild
# Copyright 2019-2020 Gentoo Authors
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
EAPI=7
inherit acct-user
DESCRIPTION="User for Cortex"
ACCT_USER_ID=-1
ACCT_USER_GROUPS=( ${PN} )
acct-user_add_deps |
When trying to merge this, it is causing the following error:
| Code: | $ sudo ebuild cortex-0.ebuild manifest clean merge

For some reason the system thinks /dev/null is at the GID position. I tried replacing the value of ACCT_USER_ID with an actual number, and the ${PN} part of ACCT_USER_GROUPS with "cortex". This did not work:
| Code: | [...]
* A shell was specified but it does not exist !
* ERROR: acct-user/cortex-0::pentoo failed (preinst phase):
* 9999 does not exist in
*
* Call stack:

* environment, line 384: Called enewuser '-M' 'cortex' '9999' '-1' '/dev/null' 'cortex'
* environment, line 796: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* die "${eshell} does not exist in ${ROOT}";
[...] |
I don;t know how to fix this and I was hoping any of you could tell me what's wrong. Does something need to be changed in the overlay's profile or metadata folder? Am I overlooking anything else? |

I tested in my system and error is
| Code: | >>> Merging acct-user/cortex-0 to /

This I think is caused because I don't create acct-group/cortex. So I don't know what is wrong in your system
| Code: | >>> Merging acct-user/cortex-0 to /
getent: invalid option -- 'M'
Try `getent --help' or `getent --usage' for more information. |
Maybe some unprintable character in ebuild that change the position of the options?

To check this I decided to copy acct-user/burp from the Gentoo tree and rewrite it for "Cortex", like so:
| Code: | # Copyright 2019 Gentoo Authors
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
EAPI=7
inherit acct-user
DESCRIPTION="User for Cortex"
ACCT_USER_ID=-1
ACCT_USER_GROUPS=( cortex )
acct-user_add_deps |
As you can see, the only things I changed are the values for DESCRIPTION, ACCT_USER_ID, and ACCT_USER_GROUPS. I did not touch the rest and it still gives me the same error:
| Code: | [...]
>>> Merging acct-user/cortex-0 to /
getent: invalid option -- 'M'
Try `getent --help' or `getent --usage' for more information.

* environment, line 842: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:

Something else must be wrong, but I don't know what. Other Pentoo developers notice the same error on their system as well. |

Does Pentoo override eclass user? It seems that enewuser is not taking -M as an option ("do not create home directory if it does not exist"). Rather, it seems to be taking it as the user to create, so all arguments 'shift' one place and /dev/null is taken as the user's primary group rather than as the user's home directory. |

Apparently so, thanks! I'll reach out to the main developers and ask them to have a look at the override. |
