Emerde in SUSE.
hi, I tested on SUSE 9.1 Personal(upgrade to Pro by HTTP upgrade).

However I met this problem. It being told that Emerde works well on other RPM based Redhat and Mandrake,so I took risk to try on my SUSE. What's going on actually? SUSE use different style of grouping,which is username is not equal to group number, UID!=GID.

How to solve this matter?

portage: 'portage' user or group missing. Please update baselayout

and merge portage user(250) and group(250) into your passwd

and group files. Non-root compilation is disabled until then.

Also note that non-root/wheel users will need to be added to

the portage group to do portage commands.

For the defaults, line 1 goes into passwd, and 2 into group.

portage:x:250:250:portage:/var/tmp/portage:/bin/false

portage::250:portage

'shit'

like eshit, which is rather unfortunate.
