if the groups aren't being created and dnf did not show an error, then at the very least the script in the rpm doing the install is not checking return codes and reporting an error.
The scripts reporting the above, may or may not even have code that works (especially given they aren't checking error codes).
here are my permissions they appear to be default (rpm -V setup) will point out any permissions issues around those files.
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1891 Feb 5 11:39 /etc/group
----------. 1 root root 1464 Feb 5 11:39 /etc/gshadow
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4837 Feb 5 11:57 /etc/passwd
likely the above scripts are using the groupadd and useradd commands so you might try adding a group and/or a user with those commands and see if it works or gives an error.
If it gives no error and you confirm it did add the user/group then one has to conclude that the script in the rpm is not doing the user/group creation properly.

The other messages are informational. The /etc/gshadow is basically trying to add the group users and it already being in the file, which is informational.
The real error will be coming from one of the install scripts in one of the rpms and that is what needs to be changed (bug report on the rpm giving that error to correct the error). And you don't know exactly what rpm is doing it nor what file it is trying to write to.

No such entries are in /etc/group. /etc/gshadow has permissions of 000, with last update of may 20,2021. Do these setting need to be changed?
Apparently a little more complicated.

Higher version of database is expected!
In order to upgrade the database, you must run SSSD.
Removing cache files in /var/lib/sss/db should fix the issue,
but note that removing cache files
will also remove all of your cached credentials.
Could not open available domains
However, sgx was added to
/etc/group. Other group additions went through with no messages.
