I don't think this is related, but this is what I got in the last update to sys-apps/slocate-2.7-r8: =================================== The 'slocate' group has been renamed to 'locate'. You seem to already have a 'slocate' group. Please rename it: groupmod -n locate slocate =================================== Renaming it allows the ebuild to complete as suggested. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
