[solved] boot error: "Cannot find group `ntp'"

acording to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Us … are_groups, it should be created with correct GID when the relevant package is installed.
I allready tried reinstalling ntp.

Have you checked your system for .pacnew files?  Like /etc/group.pacnew  ?

I don't have a pacnew file. I might have treated the last one wrong. is there any way to get the last group.pacnew?

You can just reinstall the package, or manually add the group as per the install file...

sorry for beeing that noob, but what package would ship the group.pacnew?
If you mean reinstalling ntp, I allready did that and it doesn't alter the group file

Read the install scriptlet. Reinstalling won't do it.

I did an -Rsn on ntp and intalled it again. this solved the issue
