 Hi,

 I just tried building "scalc" out of curiosity.

 It through several errors like that:

 {{{
 chown: bin: Invalid argument
 }}}

 ...seems it tries to set the user to '''bin''' before installing. Which
 doesn't exist!? - should it be there?

 I did some grep'ing and then went through some files I thought relevant
 and changed the variables '''INSUSR_DEF''' and '''DEFINSUSR''' from
 '''bin''' to '''root''' (and did similar with the groups setting - from
 '''bin''' to '''admin'''). That allowed finishing the install.

 Though I had another problem with already having a '''calc''' executable
 installed from the '''calc'''-port. Is that intended? Shouldn't/Couldn't
 the '''scalc'''-executable be named '''scalc''' instead of '''calc''' to
 avoid that?

 Regards,
 Sven


 PS: Full debug output of the build without changes is attached.
