Interesting! |

What fails here is one of these two: |
| 16 |
portage_uid=pwd.getpwnam(portageuser)[2] |
| 17 |
portage_gid=grp.getgrnam(portagegroup)[2] |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
In the current version, only the value of "portageuser" is printed, but |
| 20 |
the problem may be in "portagegroup" as well. |

Can you look into your |
| 23 |
$EPREFIX/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/const_autotool.py file and check if |
| 24 |
portageuser and portagegroup match the output of `id`? |

I bet this is related. Unless IBM really wants not to be compatible |
| 34 |
with any program doing user/group queries, I cannot imagine that gsa |
| 35 |
doesn't work through getent and friends. |
