CNN ran an unfortunate headline this weekend about Lady Bird Johnson’s funeral:

enewuser, enewgroup failed during emerge world in Gentoo

I was upgrading one of my Gentoo Linux machines over the weekend and ran into this problem again. I couldn’t remember how I fixed it the first time and hours of searching Google turned up nothing useful. Apparently there are a lot of Gentoo ebuilds in Google’s index so all I was getting was source code.

It turns out that upgrading sys-apps/shadow fixes it. After you emerge that you can  resume your emerge world.

Gentoo’s Portage does a great job of resolving dependencies between packages but doesn’t always seem to do it in the best order. Either that or there are a bunch of packages out there that don’t specify all of their requirements. Hopefully this will help a few folks.
