At a guess there are added user records in /etc/master.passwd which
haven't been processed into /etc/pwd.db This will confuse applications
trying to use pw(8).
Try running:
# pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd
Now 'id mongodb' should acknowledge the existence of the mongodb
account, and you should be able (re)install the mongodb pkg without it
complaining so much.
Cheers,
Matthew
