Installation of <CSWnsca> partially failed.

pkgadd failed with exit code: 2
Exit from pkgutil and fix this issue first (recommended)? ([y],n)

This missing user also prevents the software to work. Either the package 
miss a dependency on something else supposed to create it, either it 
fails to create it itself.
