>Description:
/usr/ports/devel/dbus fails if an existing messagebus user is found

===> Creating users and/or groups.
Using existing group `messagebus'.
Creating user `messagebus' with uid `556'.
pw: user 'messagebus' already exists
*** Error code 74

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/dbus.
*** Error code 1

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/devel/dbus; make
>Fix:
It's an understandable bug so I can only lightly suggest, if username, userid, etc match, then warning and pass else if unable to create, then fail.
