 => === Aborted, please remove /nonexistent
 => 
 => So, have you tried to do that? Many port will fail if you have a
 => file, device, pipe, directory -- anything -- named ``nonexistent'' in
 => the root directory (/).
 
 =I am unable to remove /nonexistent, as this is a dir that was created
 =by default and is being used by such users (as defined in /etc/passwd)
 =as www, nobody, pop & gdm on this (and other systems).
 
 NO. All of the accounts and software you listed rely on quite the
 opposite -- on the fact, the directory does NOT exist. I don't know,
 what might've created it, but it certainly is not supposed to exist --
 as the name itself implies :-)
 
 I'll close the PR. Yours,
