>Description:
The pkg_add utility uses an old syntax (userid.groupid instead of
userid:groupid) when changing user and group after the install.
This causes a "chown: bin.bin: illegal user name" or some such
whenever you install a package which has both @owner and @group
directives, e.g. openmotif-devel:
hunter# make install
===> Installing for open-motif-devel-2.1.30
===> open-motif-devel-2.1.30 depends on shared library: X11.6 - found
Installing Open Motif 2.1.30 development...
chown: bin.bin: illegal user name
pkg_add: couldn't change owner/group of ''usr/X11R6/bin/uil' ' to 'bin.bin'
chown: bin.bin: illegal user name
...and so on.
See attached fix.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to do a pkg_add for a package which has both @owner and @group directives,
e.g. open-motif-devel.
