https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212605 Bug ID: 212605 Summary: pw(8) returns "pw: user 'foobar' disappeared during update" Product: Base System Version: 11.0-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: ben.lavery@hashbang0.com After upgrading from 10.3 to 11-RC2 (note, this was not shown in the Version list, so selected 11-STABLE) I cannot add new users without getting this message: # pw user add foobar pw: user 'foobar' disappeared during update After using vipw(8) to remove the entry, all subsequent attempts to add *any* user succeed. This issue initially stopped me from being able to install packages that added users. For example, I got the following message when trying to install audio/firefly: ===> Creating groups. Creating group 'daapd' with gid '337'. ===> Creating users Creating user 'daapd' with uid '337'. pw: user 'daapd' disappeared during update pkg: PRE-INSTALL script failed -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
