Description Quentin Armitage 2010-04-10 14:58:00 UTC

Description of problem:
yum update reports error:
groupadd: group 'plugdev' already exists

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libftdi-0.17-2.fc12.i686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update libftdi
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Attempts to add already existing group plugdev

Expected results:
Only adds group if it does not exist

Additional info:
The %pre script as the line:
getent group GROUPNAME >/dev/null || groupadd -r plugdev 

Presumably GROUPNAME should say plugdev

Luckily this is not the whole %pre script.  The next line reads 'exit 0' or an update would be abandoned due to a script failure.

It would be simpler just to follow a common pattern of such scripts and use:

groupadd -r plugdev >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
