When I try to build prosody (on FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p3), I get the

You already have a group prosody, so I will use it.

Thanks for any help or insight you can provide.
The pkg-install script should be detecting the user, what does the
following command show?
/usr/sbin/pw user show prosody ; echo $?
On my system with no prosody user it returns with:
pw: no such user `prosody`
67
It should return with a value of zero, when the port is installed:
# /usr/sbin/pw user show prosody ; echo $?
prosody:*:242:1::0:0:Prosody XMMP Server:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin
0
I have tried installing/deinstalling/re-installing the port, and don't
get the prosody user already exists error.
ok, so I run /usr/sbin/pw user show prosody ; echo $? and I get the
same error you do on your system with no user. When I look at
/etc/passwd, the prosody user is there:
prosody:*:242:1:Prosody XMPP Server:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin
Also, when I try to remove the prosody user, it fails:
# pw userdel -n prosody
pw: no such user `prosody'
