The error message is wrong.
Actually it's correct, just a bit unclear. UPDATING includes the
complete procedure you should always follow when building world. It
includes a 'mergemaster -p' step, precisely for the purpose of adding
new users and groups when they appear.
Dear Kris
I have a few questions related to this error message
ERROR: Required audit group is missing, see /usr/src/UPDATING
I know that updating requires the mergemaster steps because I read the
handbook. But I don't understand why this message tells me to look
in that file, when there's nothing about that in it.
Is /usr/src/UPDATING synonymous to 'the correct updating procedure'?
Or is there a file which describes how I can manually insert needed groups
and users when I mess up mergemaster runs?
Or is that pointless anyway since I could just remove /usr/obj and rerun
the whole updating procedure again before I reboot?
And finally, is it really necessary to reboot after 'mergemaster -p'?
Lately I've skipped that step with no adverse side-effects, saves me one
reboot :-)
I would be very grateful for any explanations.
Thanks
lars.
