Re: wip/nagios errors

[Scott Presnell <srp%tworoads.net@localhost>]

Hi Florian,
        I am not the maintainer of nagios, but I contribute to it. After
some troubleshooting it appears this error is a result of a change in:

        /usr/pkgsrc/mk/install/usergroup

in the main /usr/pkgsrc tree.  Update this file, to -current and the
installation will proceed correctly.

I not sure what should be done to maintain backwards compatibility
between wip-current and a branch of /usr/pkgsrc (FWIW my /usr/pkgsrc is
currently branch-2005Q2).

        Thanks.

        - Scott
