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.

Thanks! BTW, MongoDB port has the same error: === Installing for mongodb-2.0.6_1 === Generating temporary packing list === Checking if databases/mongodb already installed === Creating users and/or groups. Using existing group `mongodb'. Creating user `mongodb' with uid `922'. pw: user 'mongodb' already exists *** Error code 74 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mongodb. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mongodb. === Installation of mongodb-2.0.6_1 (databases/mongodb) failed === Aborting update Terminated === You can restart from the point of failure with this command line: portmaster flags databases/mongodb How should one report errors in such cases?

In this case, I'm afraid it looks very much as if the problem is local to your system, and nothing wrong with the port itself. As the databases/mongodb port uses the generic mechanisms for handling USERS and GROUPS it's likely that if there was a problem with the databases/mongodb port, then you'ld be seeing similar problems with any port that uses the same mechanism. There would be an excess of complaints from many users that would be hard to miss. No such complaining has been observed. In short: something is wrong in the password database on your system specifically, which is causing the installation of databases/mongodb to throw errors.
