Build Error on Gentoo Hardened (SELinux + other tools)

Post by knightcode »

I've got a server running selinux 3.0.4 as part of whatever Gentoo roles into it's hardened build. I've added the appropriate keyword and use statements to /etc/portage/package.keywords and /etc/portage/package.use, respectively. When I run 'emerge transmission', though, the following error is printed:

Code: Select all

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-p2p/transmission-2.61
 * transmission-2.61.tar.xz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ...                                              [ ok ]
 * Adding group 'transmission' to your system ...
 *  - Groupid: next available
 * Adding user 'transmission' to your system ...
 *  - Userid: 101
 *  - Shell: /sbin/nologin
 *  - Home: /dev/null
 * You must add group transmission to the system first
It seems as through the group id is expected to be a number, and perhaps it's not(?)

If I run 'emerge transmission' again, here's what prints:

Code: Select all

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-p2p/transmission-2.61
 * transmission-2.61.tar.xz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ...                                              [ ok ]
 * Adding group 'transmission' to your system ...
 *  - Groupid: next available
groupadd: group 'transmission' already exists
I was able to successfully emerge the build on another system running the standard version of gentoo, so that it seems like this is just a problem with the ebuild.
