Privoxy fails to create required user and group when installing from a package

Reported by: fracai Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.7.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: privoxy

Description

In the pre-configure stage, Privoxy creates a new user and group. When the packaged files are installed in another location, this pre-configure stage appears to be skipped.

This may simply be an issue with the Privoxy port, where the user / group creation should occur at an alternate stage, or perhaps check to ensure that they exist before installing. I could almost consider this a core bug, except that if the user and group are required for building AND installing, those steps should be taken before executing either stage.
