>Description:
The clamav port (/usr/ports/security/clamav) uses a fixed GID
(106, hardwired in files/pkg-install.in) without any sensible
reason. This prevents me from installing it, since I already
have such a group.
>How-To-Repeat:
If you already have a group of GID 106:
esther:ports/security/clamav % sudo make install
===> Installing for clamav-0.87
===> clamav-0.87 depends on executable: lha - found
===> clamav-0.87 depends on executable: unarj - found
===> clamav-0.87 depends on executable: unrar - found
===> clamav-0.87 depends on executable: zoo - found
===> clamav-0.87 depends on executable: arc - found
===> clamav-0.87 depends on executable: unzip - found
===> clamav-0.87 depends on shared library: gmp.6 - found
===> clamav-0.87 depends on shared library: curl.3 - found
pw: gid `106' has already been allocated
=> Adding group "clamav" failed...
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/security/clamav.
>Fix:
No port should use a fixed GID (specially under 100) unless
there is a very good reason (and a method to deal with
collisions).
The following patch seems to cure the problem:
--- files/pkg-install.in.ORIG Thu Oct 6 12:24:50 2005
+++ files/pkg-install.in Thu Oct 6 12:25:17 2005

echo "=> Added group \"$CLAMAVGROUP\"."

There is probably an identical issue with the UID.
