Description Florin Andrei 2005-03-30 20:32:24 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1

Description of problem:
I installed a minimal FC4t1: unselect all package groups then select only Development and Legacy Devel
Then i did this:

yum install httpd

It first complained about this:

unsigned package httpd-suexec-2.0.53-6.i386.rpm

However, that's minor and i choose to not open a separate bug report.
I tweaked yum.conf then re-run the yum command. It did this:

Comment 1 Florin Andrei 2005-03-30 20:36:18 UTC 
Oh, wait, now i see that the group was actually created when installing the RPM:

Mar 30 12:25:32 ergo useradd[2879]: new group: name=apache, gid=48
Mar 30 12:25:32 ergo useradd[2879]: new user: name=apache, uid=48, gid=48,
home=/var/www, shell=/sbin/nologin

Because the way the message was presented during "yum install" i thought it was
a bug (or was it?)
Comment 2 Florin Andrei 2005-03-30 20:43:59 UTC 
Hm, i see that a mysql user/group were created while yum-ing the mysql packages,
but this time no warning was printed out by yum.
Comment 3 Joe Orton 2005-03-31 11:22:03 UTC 
The httpd-suexec package prereqs httpd, so this shouldn't happen.  I expect
someone will mumble something about PreReq being equivalent to Requires to which
I will just laugh.  Both /bin/rpm and anaconda get this right AFAIK.
Comment 4 Paul Nasrat 2005-04-28 11:41:39 UTC 
Can you reproduce with latest rpm and yum in rawhide particularly rpm-4.4.1-11
Comment 5 Paul Nasrat 2005-04-28 11:51:19 UTC 
httpd-suexec merged back in bug #155716

I assume original cause was when rpm had flattened prereq, which is fixed in
rawhide.

Closing.
