No problem - cc'ing the list for others who may be following.

Always good to know and sensible to report. Hopefully not an issue in this case.

Try this:

 grep mersdk /etc/passwd >> /srv/mer/targets/SailfishOS-i486-x86/etc/passwd

and try the mb command again:
 mb build -t SailfishOS-i486-x86 rpm/Demo4.spec

Sorry I can't test this properly as I'm rebuilding my QA machine tonight - I
just panicked because I thought I'd lost my OS-X partition! Luckily not :)

It's a little complicated but not rocket science :)

Your build is happening on a virtual machine which is the build-engine - you
know this part. The build engine contains the development tools and compilers etc.
However, inside that build engine are what we call 'targets'. A target is a
very, very light almost-VM. We will have targets for the emulator and for
different devices (including ARM ones). It is the passwd file inside the
*target* that does not understand the username.

It's an annoying one - happily I think I fixed it this weekend.
