Comment 1 Robin Lee 2012-09-29 08:10:00 UTC 
Manually run
# groupadd -g 23 squid
is ok.
Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2012-10-01 07:48:55 UTC 
If manually running groupadd is fine, it might be either some other problem in the %pre squid scriptlet or perhaps a SELinux issue.
Comment 3 Michal Luscon 2012-10-18 13:08:19 UTC 
Do you have any unusual SELinux settings on your system? I am not experiencing this problem with my f17.
Comment 4 Robin Lee 2012-10-19 01:55:21 UTC 
I am not familiar with SELinux. How to find out if I have some unusual settings?

Squid PRE scriptlet seems a bit different since it hard codes the group id.
Comment 5 Robin Lee 2012-10-24 02:35:36 UTC 
Tested with selinux-policy-3.10.0-156.fc17
