https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2126785 --- Comment #16 from Björn Persson <bjorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to Darryl Bond from comment #14) > At what point is the group created? Dropping a file in _sysusersdir triggers a file trigger that creates user accounts and groups as specified by the files in that directory. You can see it with "rpm --query --filetriggers systemd". It's a post-transaction trigger so it's executed after all the packages have been installed. That's too late for a package that needs the group during installation, so usbrelay-mqtt needs to create the group in %pre. > Would it be normal practice to put a groupdel in the %postun of usbrelay? As far as I know it's common practice to leave user accounts and groups behind when packages are removed. If the group has access to any files that aren't owned by the package, then the numeric group ID will still have that access after the group name is removed. Next time a group is created the group ID will be reused, and then the new group will inherit privileges from the deleted group. For security it's better to avoid deleting the group. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are always notified about changes to this product and component You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2126785 _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list -- package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to package-review-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
