>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE i386
>Environment:

FreeBSD 2.2.1 out-of-box, trying to reinstall from 2.2-RELENG.

>Description:

1. mtree breaks in make reinstall (and probably make world) as mail group
did not exist in 2.2.1.

2. install-info is not installed by make reinstall, it has to be manually
installed to complete make reinstall.  I do not know if this is a problem
with make world.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install plain-vanilla 2.2.1 and try to reinstall from nfs-mounted
2.2-RELENG tree.

>Fix:
	
mtree or something could check out if mail group exists, and if not, adding
it to /etc/group would not be a big problem, check that uid 6 is (still)
free and append the new group ?

install-info probably needs a dependence somewhere to get installed ?
