[SOLVED] enewgroup & enewuser comand not found

[jebriggsy]

Hello,

I am trying to install I2P on my system. I found that it isn't available in the main portage db, so I created a local directory using this guide. I then found a pre-made ebuild located here and downloaded the relevant files to /usr/local/portage/net-p2p/i2p, minus the manifest. I created a manifest using ebuild *.ebuild manifest while in said directory.

After that I ran emerge -v i2p and it runs fine until just after compiling the source. Portage ouputs two warnings:

Actually there are many overlays having i2p ebuild see e.g. http://gentoo.mahdi.cz/net-p2p:i2p.html

You could use layman when using build(s) from overlay by layman -a <overlay> ... no need to copy over files manually then, see https://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml or https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman once having done this, just emerge as usual.

Hope this helps as usually there are other dependencies in overlays to save you problems when just picking sigle build.

I have now worked out why you get

enewgroup: command not found

and

enewuser: command not found.

In the past, these commands were part of 'inherit eutils'
These days, they are part of 'inherit user'

If you get this error, just change the 'inherit' line in the ebuild to also inherit 'user'
