Hello, Another application I'm interested in building is called Cricket v1.0.5 Home url: http://cricket.sourceforge.net/ GPL: http://cricket.sourceforge.net/license.php Documentation: http://cricket.sourceforge.net/support/doc/ Download: http://cricket.sourceforge.net/download/ So far its unpacked and it fails on command useradd and I suspect the userdel command will fail too. The build log so far says: Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /var/tmp/cricket-1.0.5-11.1-root Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /var/tmp/cricket-1.0.5-11.1-root Wrote: /usr/src/packages/SRPMS/cricket-1.0.5-11.1.src.rpm Wrote: /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/cricket-1.0.5-11.1.x86_64.rpm Executing(%clean): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.11461 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/packages/BUILD + cd cricket-1.0.5 + /bin/rm -rf /var/tmp/cricket-1.0.5-11.1-root + exit 0 ... checking for files with abuild user/group ... running 00-check-install-rpms ... installing all built rpms Preparing packages for installation... /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.11461: line 3: useradd: command not found error: %pre(cricket-1.0.5-11.1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping cricket-1.0.5-11.1 failed to install rpms, aborting build System halted. The spec file (cricket.spec&) has in it: %pre id cricket >/dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then useradd -r -d %{_libdir}/%{name} -c "Cricket SNMP Monitor" cricket fi %postun if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then userdel cricket fi Other info: # which useradd /usr/sbin/useradd # which userdel /usr/sbin/userdel Build log -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=x86_64&package=cricket&project=home%3Adoiggl&repository=openSUSE_Factory cricket.spec -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=cricket.spec&package=cricket&project=home%3Adoiggl Question: How can I ensure the 'useradd' and 'userdel' routines in the %pre and %postun sections run without error and do I get those commands enabled ?.
