           Summary: mkuser script fails with: user already exists with
                    group nogroup
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2015.02
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor

         Component: Other

The file:

buildroot-2015.02/support/scripts/mkusers 

Lines: 170-173:
    # check the user does not already exist in another group
    if [ -n "${_ugroup}" -a "${_ugroup}" != "${group}" ]; then
        fail "user already exists with group '${_ugroup}'\n"
    fi

Issue causes a total failure to build if the user exists with the group
already.  This shouldn't happen as it actually has less work to do right?

My work around was to comment the fail line and all seems to have continued to
work properly.

I don't know what impacts this has but as it's not failing to a real "problem"
and the mkusers script is new from what I can find, I doubt there will be any
major issues.
