Re: Fwd: Re: emerge fails on wheelgid

Well, I've got the latest, and I bootstrapped the latest
portage tree, as
well as portage itself. Now when trying to emerge, I get
this error:

$ emerge --oneshot sed

portage: mdmcmull user or group missing.i
         In Prefix Portage this is quite dramatic
         since it means you have thrown away yourself.
         Re-add yourself, or rebootstrap Gentoo Prefix.

I have two different AIX systems here. On one of them, this
works as it
should, but on this newest one it fails as indicated above.
The difference,
is on the first, I have a local account on the machine. On
the second I do
not have a local account, but instead it uses a distributed
auth system
called gsa. I'm certain this is what is causing the error,
but I don't know
how to debug this. Any advice ?

Interesting!

What fails here is one of these two:
    portage_uid=pwd.getpwnam(portageuser)[2]
    portage_gid=grp.getgrnam(portagegroup)[2]

In the current version, only the value of
"portageuser" is printed, but
the problem may be in "portagegroup" as well.

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

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