            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 *an=
y*
user succeed.

This issue initially stopped me from being able to install packages that ad=
ded
users.  For example, I got the following message when trying to install
audio/firefly:

 =3D=3D=3D> Creating groups.
 Creating group 'daapd' with gid '337'.
 =3D=3D=3D> Creating users
 Creating user 'daapd' with uid '337'.
 pw: user 'daapd' disappeared during update
 pkg: PRE-INSTALL script failed
