I guess that this is related to groupadd component.
Did you do anything with /etc/group?
What are permissions of the file?

Comment 3 Petr Hracek 2015-12-21 09:18:24 UTC
I guess, it is relevant to RPM.
Did you erase directory /var/run/screen?

I could not image why does not exist.

Is the problem reproducible?

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 6 Josef Ridky 2016-07-21 13:09:29 UTC
Unfortunately at Fedora 24 I am not able to reproduce this bug. Everything is fine here. Could you please inform me, if is this bug still actual for you? Otherwise, please close this bug.

Comment 7 Joseph Pesco 2016-08-04 11:25:09 UTC
I've only seen this happen once since the initial bug report.  I removed the package and reinstalled it.  Thanks much for the feedback.
