CUPS install error

Hi,

I recently did a pkg_deinstall -a (cleanup). I am now doing now doing an install of the ports. I am having a problem with cups.

Now for the info:
Code: 
FreeBSD Shibari.brendhanhorne.com 9.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE #0 r255898: Fri Sep 27 03:52:52 UTC 2013     root@bake.isc.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

I am trying to install cups 1.5.4. I am getting an error on the install:

Code:

I have gone in and erased the lines for cups from /etc/group/etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd. However I get the same error message.

So how do I fix this so cups will install?

Sincerely,

If I erase the lines in /etc/group /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd it looks like this:

Code: 
===>   cups-base-1.5.4_1 depends on shared library: pango-1.0 - found
===>   Generating temporary packing list

pw: no such user `cups'
pw: user 'cups' disappeared during update

Do not edit those files directly, they are meant to be handled by pw(8) and vipw(8) utilities only. You can fix the password database by running vipw(8), make a trivial change and undo it in the editor, save and exit.
 
Fixed it: delete the CUPS lines from /etc/group /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd, then run this: cd /etc && pwd_mkdb -p master.passwd.
