[Dump-users] Can't install dump0.4b40 on Slackware 10.0.0

[Ivan L. Jr. <le...@gm...>]

Hi all!

I tried to install dump0.4b40 from sources on my Slackware 10.0.0 and run into 
a problem of being unable to perform make install successfuly.

Error message looks like this:

I don't have such a user, because I never needed it to be present in my system 
configuration. All the software I use goes just fine along the configuration 
when there's no man user.

Erm... What do I do?
Why does dump need this user?
