Description Daniel Berrangé 2025-05-02 15:15:27 UTC

When building a package on F42 which includes a reference to %sysusers_create_compat, RPM spews errors


sh: line 1: /usr/lib/rpm/sysusers.generate-pre.sh: No such file or directory
sh: line 1: /usr/lib/rpm/sysusers.generate-pre.sh: No such file or directory
sh: line 1: /usr/lib/rpm/sysusers.generate-pre.sh: No such file or directory

systemd-rpm-macros-257.5-2.fc42.noarch contains a macro that refers to thsi shell script, however, since f42 it no longer ships this shell script. 

Presumably need to either ship it, or stop referring to it in the macro ?


Reproducible: Always
