I just installed a new system and emerged some packages. sys-process/cronbase is however failing because it uses the eutils eclass and the eclass uses groupadd but the package providing groupadd is not installed. error message: >>> Emerging (3 of 9) sys-process/cronbase-0.3.2 to / * checking ebuild checksums ;-) ...
