Description Martin Osvald 🛹 2023-07-24 12:31:23 UTC 
Description of problem:

Please, backport the below patch to RHEL9 so that pkgs like cyrus-imapd can run under a different primary group:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemd/c/83301531c0aa22ffc155096826d8f5250c6a880a?branch=rawhide


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

systemd-rpm-macros-252-15.el9.noarch


How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Have the below in a file as a param to %sysusers_create_compat macro:
~~~
#Type Name     ID             GECOS                 Home directory Shell
g     saslauth 76
g     mail     12
u     cyrus    76:mail        "Cyrus IMAP Server"   /var/lib/imap  /sbin/nologin
m     cyrus    saslauth
~~~


Actual results:

~~~
# dnf install cyrus-imapd-3.4.1-9.el9.x86_64.rpm cyrus-imapd-libs-3.4.1-9.el9.x86_64.rpm cyrus-imapd-utils-3.4.1-9.el9.x86_64.rpm perl-Cyrus-3.4.1-9.el9.x86_64.rpm
...
groupadd: invalid group ID '76:mail'
useradd: invalid user ID '76:mail'
~~~


Expected results:

No errors, user&groups get created properly.
