>Description:
When you make install in the mail/cyrus directory, the install will fail because the cyrus user doesn't exist.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run "make install" in the mail/cyrus dir without having a cyrus user.
>Fix:
No patch, sorry. I know it is tricky for packages to create their own accounts (I think most use addnerd) but if it is not added by the package it should at least be mentioned in the DESCR or something ;o) Workaround: create the user before you install the package.
