Doc Text:	In previous versions of the wallaby service, the wallaby package assumed the existence of a "condor" group. However, the wallaby package did not depend on the condor package, which creates this group, and the wallaby installation on a machine without a "condor" group failed. The wallaby package now creates a "condor" group if necessary and the installation succeeds on all machines.	Story Points:	---

This is fixed upstream.

Comment 2 Martin Kudlej 2011-06-16 12:20:08 UTC

On which version of RHEL can we reproduce this?

Comment 3 Will Benton 2011-06-16 12:55:45 UTC

You should be able to reproduce it on any machine that does not have a "condor" group.

Comment 5 Martin Kudlej 2011-07-20 10:05:31 UTC

I don't see this bug on RHEL5.6 and RHEL6.1 so I suggest to close this as not a bug. Do you agree?

Comment 6 Robert Rati 2011-07-20 13:29:30 UTC

Unless those versions of RHEL have the condor user created by the base OS install, which would be surprising, the version of RHEL shouldn't matter.  It must be tested on a system that has never had condor installed on it (and therefore doesn't have the condor user in /etc/passwd or the group in /etc/group).

Comment 8 Tomas Rusnak 2011-07-28 16:51:10 UTC

Reproduced - group condor doesn't exists.

# rpm -q wallaby
# yum install wallaby
