Yes, but then maybe the corresponding variables (PKG_USERS, PKG_GROUPS)
should be ignored by pkgsrc in case of an unprivileged install, which
apparently happens (and I haven't been understanding the mail right the
first time).

Anyway, the PKG_MESSAGE is wrong in this case, because the
user/group will not have been created, and the /var/chroot/iodine
directory will have the wrong permissions, presumably (i.e. owned by
Georg's UID/GID rather than iodine/iodine).

However, since there is no rc.d-script, there should be some way to
notify people who do "normal" non-unprivileged builds that a user was
created, no? Maybe pkgsrc should show that a user was created after
displaying PKG_MESSAGE? I think it currently doesn't do that.


Best regards,

Moritz
