Description

This isn't an rpm problem per se, since rpm does not access /etc/group directly, but only uses getgrnam/getgrgid interfaces from glibc. (Note: there is a hard coded maximum 1024 group limit in rpm, but I don't believe that you are reaching that limit). Off to glibc for resolution ... Still present in 8.0 I cannot reproduce this with RHL9. I have at the beginning of /etc/group a line with >2000 characters. My user entry is behind this and rpmbuild happily creates an output file even though the files which get added belong to me. Please check this out yourself and report back. |
