Huh? What's up with this? How do I install dovecot using ports?

The problem is:

Code:
Creating user `dovecot' with uid `143'.
pw: user 'dovecot' already exists
The error is self-explanatory. It's a bit disappointing the port fails on something like this...

Try removing the dovecot user & group with:
Code:
$ pw group del dovecot
$ pw user del dovecot
And install again ...

It is self explanatory, if there had been a user dovecot, but there wasn't. After the install fails there is a user dovecot but no group.

Code:
$ pw show user -a | grep dove
[1]    13303 done       pw show user -a |
       13304 exit 1     egrep --colour=auto dove
$ pw show group -a | grep dove
[1]    13305 done       pw show group -a |
       13306 exit 1     egrep --colour=auto dove
$ sudo portmaster mail/dovecot2

I was wrong, after the install fails there's:

Code:
$ pw show group -a | grep dove
dovecot:*:143:
dovenull:*:144:
$ pw show user -a | grep dove
[1]    45160 done       pw show user -a |
       45161 exit 1     egrep --colour=auto dove
$
I thought that a failed install didn't leave anything behind?
