Does anyone happen to know how to install system-user-srvGeoClue in Tumbleweed? It fails since many months, perhaps forever. See bug#1177048
That's quite pecculiar - system-user-srvGeoClue is installed on every single fresh TW/GNOME install, so openQA installs this package at least 20 times a day. For sure, this is not a generically seen issue - or we'd see/hear much more about it. Not knowing much about your system, it appears though as your system tries to create a user in some other place than passwd/shadow - and hits a limitation of 8 chars, or maybe does not like mixed-case usernames. One option would be to rename the user (e.g. _geoclue) - but srvGeoClue has been in use since at least 2013 (In Feb 2014 I added added a dep to NM, so the user certaninly already existed then; geoclue2.changes references that username first time in Sept 2013). Before goingn this route, I'd be very curious to understand what changed on your system in the last 7 years that might block this username from existing. Cheers, Dominique
