Description Fritz Elfert 2007-01-15 22:13:10 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

Description of problem:
From last night's yum update:

nscd: unrecognized service
error: %pre(screen-4.0.3-1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping screen-4.0.3-1

It seems, that screen's preinstall-script wants to restart nscd which is not installed here ...
Running yum update manually fails the same way.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
screen-4.0.3-1.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.yum update screen
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Should update screen

Expected Results:
Update fails with the described error

Additional info:
Comment 1 Fritz Elfert 2007-01-15 22:31:44 UTC 
running qpm -qp --scripts /var/cache/yum/updates/packages/screen-4.0.3-1.x86_64.rpm
reveals this:

preinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 84 -r -f screen
service nscd force-reload

The last line probably should be replaced by something like:
if test -f /etc/init.d/nscd ; then
  service nscd force-reload
