Description Enrico Belleri 2021-05-13 13:21:18 UTC

Installing knot with transactional update is unable to create the group knot and user knot, also needed for create_dirs_from_rpmdb run by service create-dirs-from-rpmdb.service on boot.

Additional rpm output:
groupadd: Cannot determine your user name.
useradd: group 'knot' does not exist
warning: user knot does not exist - using root
warning: group knot does not exist - using root
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/knot.conf:3: Failed to resolve user 'knot': No such process

This is solved by manually running:
$ groupadd -r knot
$ useradd -r -g knot -d /etc/knot -s /sbin/nologin -c "Knot DNS server" knot

I cannot reproduce this with a current MicroOS system.

Is this a system with SELinux enabled?

It happened with SELinux enforcing. I was using transactional-update 3.3.0

Comment 3 Ignaz Forster 2021-06-22 07:24:27 UTC

Ah, thanks for the info! This is a duplicate of bug 1185625 then, which was fixed in transactional-update 3.4.0.
