Paul,
Oh yea, get the "group_name" error you describe below. For whatever
reason, the apps that are associated with this problem are OpenOffice,
Java runtime, and Yelp. Any installation which touches these apps
provokes the error and leads to a "139" exit. None of these apps can be
removed or reconfigured.
