Could you please report if other id's in your PATH don't understand |
| 15 |
-G. You can do "type -a id" to see all the available id's then use the |
| 16 |
full path to check for -G compatibility. The reason here is because I |
| 17 |
would like to know if portage is getting confused with which id it is |
| 18 |
using. |

To be honest. I would be very surprised if a modern Ubuntu distro |
| 21 |
didn't support -G. |
