Strange. It worked for me on 10.6.8. One difference I noticed between the
passwd package and the new code is that the former adds the users and then
the groups whereas the latter adds the fink-bld group and then the fink-bld
user. I'm not really sure how, but this could be making the difference. I
changed the order in my branch. Can you try again with the updated version?
If that doesn't fix it, what happens if you delete the fink-bld user, but
not the group?
