When I try to restore my pkgs, after the --depclean, the emerge fails.
It seems like there's an error in the pre-inst script of acct-group/lp?
That's need by cups:

This seems to be the basic cause.
Perhaps. But there are two "invalid argument" error messages before the
"already exists" msg.
However, I have no idea what that emerge should do if the group it
wants to install does already exist. I can re-emerge this package
with no problems.
That's interesting! Maybe re-emerge would behave differently from a
de-install/emerge?
In any case though, crashing if the group already exists would be a bug
the developers should be interested in.
Is this a new install or reinstall? All the logic is in the eclass
which does have the comment "Creates the group if it does not exist."
I was looking for that ... I didn't find groupadd in
/var/db/pkg/acct-group/lp-0. Where should I look?
What happens if you just run "emerge -1 acct-group/lp"?
Same thing
Have you done a successful "emerge -auDvN @system" ?
Yes
There may well be something else required still missing, but not an
explicit dependency because it is part of @system.
One thing I just re-discovered is --keep-going, which works, thank
goodness, so I'll should have a working system (sometime tomorrow!),
albeit, without cups.
