Hi, Recently I started to see syslog-ng package failing on Tumbleweed. Looking at the logs I see, that the packages are generated, but at the end: [ 359s] ... testing for pre/postinstall scripts that are not idempotent [ 359s] Updating /etc/sysconfig/syslog ... [ 359s] chown: invalid user: 'news:news' [ 359s] postinstall script of syslog-ng-3.9.1-16.2.i586.rpm failed The offending part of the syslog-ng post install script seems to be: " test -f var/log/news && mv -f var/log/news var/log/news.bak mkdir -p -m 0750 var/log/news chown news:news var/log/news touch var/log/news/news.crit; chmod 640 var/log/news/news.crit chown news:news var/log/news/news.crit touch var/log/news/news.err; chmod 640 var/log/news/news.err chown news:news var/log/news/news.err touch var/log/news/news.notice; chmod 640 var/log/news/news.notice chown news:news var/log/news/news.notice " Question: what is the correct fix here? Is "news" completely depreciated? In that case I can remove this section completely. Or the files are necessary, but news was removed from the password file and I should just remove the chown part?
