=> === Aborted, please remove /nonexistent => => So, have you tried to do that? Many port will fail if you have a => file, device, pipe, directory -- anything -- named ``nonexistent'' in => the root directory (/). =I am unable to remove /nonexistent, as this is a dir that was created =by default and is being used by such users (as defined in /etc/passwd) =as www, nobody, pop & gdm on this (and other systems). NO. All of the accounts and software you listed rely on quite the opposite -- on the fact, the directory does NOT exist. I don't know, what might've created it, but it certainly is not supposed to exist -- as the name itself implies :-) I'll close the PR. Yours, -mi
