If it's a bug in the acct-user eclass, it's a rare one. It would help
if you could pin down the root cause. It's not something easy like "it
fails if the user already exists." Every user and group ebuild is
already at "-r1", which means they've been reinstalled at least once
on most peoples' machines.


Perhaps this is relevant:

I haven't tried commenting out the group yet because my update is still
in progress...

I'd considering removing the group, like, legally, but was afraid it
might erase things, like my cups ppd files.  But just commenting the
group out is genius.
