Yes he did, but i don't see the relevance of this remark to the initial question. But to answer your question, this is written via webmail, so any issues your reader has, please contact my provider (dommel.be) so that he can change this webmail program. > 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. > There is a new group in '/etc/group' called 'audit:*:77:'. > > I recommend you don't automate mergemaster operations, > and rerun the whole procedure manually. Yes, this script is just asking for trouble. Still, I bet you'll stop using it after the first time it destroys your FreeBSD installation :-) Until now this script did exactly what is was supposed to do, so I don't see why I should stop now. > > I didn't re-cvsup after doing the 'rm -rf /usr/obj/*', but did a manually 'make > -j4 make buildworld' which ended without problems or errors. > I don't mergemaster. You need to. If you insist on not doing so, any problems that result are your own concern. So why didn't the maintainers/programmers add an entry to UPDATING ? That's why the file is for, no ? To explain any changes made and to prevent destroying your fbsd installation I thought... > If I manually add the group 'audit' the problem should be fixed ? Is this a new > group or is it needed for some program ? It's needed by parts of FreeBSD, which is why it's there. Then it's very recently added, cause I used the same script last week without any problems. But your suggestion to 'mergemaster -p' added the new group and the 'make installworld' completed without any further problems. Thanks.
