Bug ID: 212605
Summary: pw(8) returns "pw: user 'foobar' disappeared during
update"
Product: Base System
Version: 11.0-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
After upgrading from 10.3 to 11-RC2 (note, this was not shown in the Version
list, so selected 11-STABLE) I cannot add new users without getting this
message:
# pw user add foobar
pw: user 'foobar' disappeared during update
After using vipw(8) to remove the entry, all subsequent attempts to add *any*
user succeed.
This issue initially stopped me from being able to install packages that added
users. For example, I got the following message when trying to install
audio/firefly:
===> Creating groups.
Creating group 'daapd' with gid '337'.
===> Creating users
Creating user 'daapd' with uid '337'.
pw: user 'daapd' disappeared during update
pkg: PRE-INSTALL script failed
