Dear community,

In case you didn't update your Tumbleweed systems yet, RPM 4.19.1 was accepted earlier this week.

As outlined below, some packages will still need updates.

Have a nice weekend!

AS iformed by Ana, RPM 4.19 adds a dependency on user/group whenever the package installs file as non-root.

Factory has just received a larger rebuild due to glibc 2.39 and python 3.12 addition - which in turn also uncovered a lot of missing user/group provides.

So far I have found this list:

...

grep -P "(user|group)" rebuildpacs.openSUSE\:Factory- standard.yaml | sed "s/needed by.*//g" | sort -u

...

    - nothing provides group(git) What requires it, though?

zypper se --requires "group(git)" Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...

S | Name | Summary | Type --+----------+------------------------------------------+-------- | gitolite | Server for git directory version tracker | package The reson is to be found in gitolite.spec: %define git_user git … %config(noreplace) %attr(640,%{git_user},%{git_user}) %{gitolite_homedir}/.ssh/authorized_keys i.e RPM is supposed to install a file to be owned by user/group git (and, as announced, RPM takes this info to formulate an automatic dependency to ensure that user/group exists).
