It looks like your system is missing the messagebus user. It should've been installed by the passwd package. Did you happen to remove it, or maybe run some application that could've removed it? Please tell us what you get if you run that id command, i.e.: id -u messagebus > passwd is installed: i passwd 20070812-22 User and group > entries for daemons > > The result of fink --version: fink --version > Package manager version: 0.29.7 > Distribution version: selfupdate-rsync Sat Jul 11 15:17:26 2009, > 10.5, i386 > > The other fink install I manage is on a ppc machine, and it isn't > having this issue. Any tips on how to fix this? Just out of curiosity, what's the output of the following command? grep messagebus /sw/etc/passwd-fink At any rate, reinstalling the passwd package should fix the missing user problem if messagebus is indeed in /sw/etc/passwd-fink, which it should. Run the following command: fink reinstall passwd Cheers, -- monipol http://finkers.wordpress.com Submitting a Fink bug report?
