Description of problem: I'm testing F29-beta5 amd64 silverblue image under qemu. I get errors in the logs from rpm-ostree. $ journalctl -b -t systemd-tmpfiles --no-hostname Sep 21 15:51:50 systemd-tmpfiles[229]: Failed to parse ACL "d:group:adm:r-x,d:group:wheel:r-x": Invalid argument.

Those users are indeed not defined: $ cat /etc/passwd root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash fedora:x:1000:1000:fedora:/home/fedora:/bin/bash The tmpfiles should be adjusted to not have duplicates, and the missing users should be added so that e.g. journalctl can show system logs for normal users.

OK, there are two things at play here. The duplicate warnings are due to the way rpm-ostree works. We auto-generate tmpfiles entries for `/var` directories because the OSTree model requires `/var` to be empty. Right now, we don't really check if the entries we synthesize are already included in other tmpfiles configs from other packages. We *could* do that, though not sure of the cost/benefit given that dupes are safely ignored. > Those users are indeed not defined: They should be in `/usr/lib/{passwd,group}`. See https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/adapting-existing/#usrlibpasswd. Those errors shouldn't happen post-pivot -- can you confirm that they come from systemd-tmpfiles in the initramfs?
> Those errors shouldn't happen post-pivot -- can you confirm that they come from systemd-tmpfiles in the initramfs? Indeed, this was in the initramfs. I guess we might want to exclude that tmpfiles config from the initramfs, but that's something to handle in systemd. I can confirm that e.g. wheel and adm groups are resolved properly by 'getent group' > We auto-generate tmpfiles entries for `/var` directories because the OSTree model requires `/var` to be empty. Ack. I'd like to see a completely error-free boot, but this is indeed minor issue. I see another mini-problem though: $ ls -l /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/rpm-ostree-1-autovar.conf -rw-------. 2 root root 6134 Jan 1 1970 /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/rpm-ostree-1-autovar.conf The permissions should be rw-r--r-- so that users don't see errors. Feel free to close this though bug though, it seems that things are working mostly as intended.
