I got this problem as well, and the 'emerge regen' solution fixed it. |
| 18 |
However, I also got this error: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
portage: 'portage' user or group missing. Please update baselayout |
| 21 |
and merge portage user(250) and group(250) into your passwd |
| 22 |
and group files. Non-root compilation is disabled until then. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
re-emerging baselayout didn't fix it -- I had to add a portage user by |
| 25 |
hand. I don't know whether there also has to be an entry in shadow or |
| 26 |
not, but I added one anyways. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Is this a new feature, or would emerging portage have deleted portage |
| 29 |
from /etc/passwd? portage was in /etc/group after this emerge, so I |
| 30 |
didn't have to change anything there. |
