#19590: selfupdate fails

Keywords: "unknown group" 501 | Port:

Comment(by zahanm@…):
Okay, I've been doing some digging around regarding UNIX file permissions.
There are sporadic folders in /opt/ that are within the group '501'.
Solved the problem. There is no '501' group on my machine (running Leopard
10.5.8/10.5.7 at time of installation).
I changed the group (using sudo chgrp) of opt/local to 'admin'.
Selfupdate worked, and all the installed files are now in the 'admin'
group.
Apparently talking to no one in particular is therapeutic and problem-
solving. =)
