In the former cae, there is an explicit Error in PREIN script during instalation. In the latter case, there is only a warning and installation proceeds: Running Transaction Installing : screen-4.1.0-0.9.20120314git3c2946.fc17.x86_64 1/1 warning: group screen does not exist - using root warning: group screen does not exist - using root So what is going on with %pre not running groupadd properly? Are there any known issues in this area? Would like to add a link to the bug I filed recently [1]. As I note there, this is what I get: Error in PREIN scriptlet in rpm package rabbitmq-server-2.6.1-2.fc17.noarch error: %pre(rabbitmq-server-2.6.1-2.fc17.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 6 And also that Group added using: #groupadd -r rabbitmq and yum install succeeds.

Still need to file a bug on yum for this one. yum should have failed the transaction rather than allow a package to be installed with missing deps. I don't think that would be worthwhile. I believe there's no sane way to back out of the transaction at that point (please do correct me if I'm wrong). -- rex -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

I believe your suspicions are correct. ... So what is going on with %pre not running groupadd properly? Are there any known issues in this area? Maybe try running the scriptlet by hand? %pre /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 84 -r -f screen and and try to figure out why it fails on your box. -- rex -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
