[Buildroot] PACKAGE_USERS does not work

["Jörg Krause" <jkrause@posteo.de>]

Hi Johan,

unfortunatly there is no error message. As I mentioned, I can build 
upmpdcli with success. Here is the contents of my 
package/upmpdcli/upmpdcli.mk:

    ################################################################################
    #
    # upmpdcli
    #
    ################################################################################

    UPMPDCLI_VERSION = 0.7.1
    UPMPDCLI_SITE = http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/downloads
    UPMPDCLI_LICENSE = GPLv2
    UPMPDCLI_LICENSE_FILES = LICENSE
    UPMPDCLI_INSTALL_STAGING = YES
    UPMPDCLI_INSTALL_TARGET = YES
    UPMPDCLI_AUTORECONF = YES
    UPMPDCLI_CONF_OPT = --prefix=/usr
    UPMPDCLI_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf
    UPMPDCLI_DEPENDENCIES += libupnp
    UPMPDCLI_DEPENDENCIES += libmpdclient

    define UPMPDCLI_USERS
         upmpdcli -1 upmpdcli -1 * - - -
    endef

    define UPMPDCLI_INSTALL_INIT_SYSV
         $(INSTALL) -m 0755 package/upmpdcli/S99upmpdcli
    $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/init.d/
    endef

    $(eval $(autotools-package))

I would expect that upmpdcli will be added to shadow, passwd, and group 
in output/target/etc, but it isn't. I think it has something to do with 
PACKAGES_USERS in package/pkg-generic.mk. If i rebuild avahi, I can see 
that make adds the entry of AVAHI_USERS to PACKAGES_USERS, but for my 
build of upmpdcli it doesn't. I also tried another custom package.

Best regards
J?rg Krause
