>Description:
When installing the mail/fetchmail port as a non-root user
with SU_CMD, the install fails because the port Makefile
executes the pkg-install script which needs root privileges
to succeed as a non-root user.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set SU_CMD in /etc/make.conf, for example:
SU_CMD=/usr/bin/su root -c
Try to install fetchmail.
This will happen:
===> Installing for fetchmail-6.3.8_4
===> fetchmail-6.3.8_4 depends on file: /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt - found
===> fetchmail-6.3.8_4 depends on shared library: intl - found
fetchmail:*:124:
You already have a group "fetchmail", so I will use it.
fetchmail:*:124:124::0:0:Fetchmail mail-retrieval daemon:/var/run/fetchmail:/usr
/sbin/nologin
You already have a user "fetchmail", so I will use it.
install: mkdir /var/run/fetchmail: Permission denied
*** Error code 71
Stop in /usr/ports/mail/fetchmail.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/mail/fetchmail.
>Fix:
The port should acquire root privileges before executing
the pkg-install script. The patch below fixes the issue for me.
