That's not what happens when installing packages. Packages typically call useradd in %pre. If the user already exists the useradd is either not called or the error ignored.
This sounds like the way more pressing thing to fix then. I guess this OSEP should be about enforcing a useradd macro in factory...
How do you suggest that should be "fixed"? We intentionally allow admins to pre-create user/groups as that makes sense so they can e.g. ensure a user/group is associated with a certain uid/gid and we neither remove user/groups on deinstallation as e.g. it might leave files owned by it behind. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
