Thanks for your report. I cannot reproduce this here (11-CURRENT i386) and in the code it looks like this can only happen if IGNORE_FILES contains both etc/group and etc/master.passwd, making the temproot empty and making mergemaster do nothing. I certainly made the change to find(1) but I don't see how it breaks a previously working use of mergemaster. Please provide more details. -- Jilles Tjoelker
