>Description:
	Installation of cups-base 1.2.10 via the package produces the output below. I believe this is due to the order of operations - the cups user is only created for the first time after the attempts to chown the directories.

>How-To-Repeat:
	portinstall -P cups

Results in:

--->  Installing 'cups-base-1.2.10' from a package
--->  Installing the new version via the package
chown: cups: Invalid argument
pkg_add: command 'chown root:cups /var/cache/cups' failed
chown: cups: Invalid argument
pkg_add: command 'chown cups:daemon /var/log/cups' failed
chgrp: cups: Invalid argument
pkg_add: command 'chgrp cups /usr/local/etc/cups' failed
Added group "cups".
Added user "cups".
