Description of problem: When trying to install screen rpm, using the command rpm -Uvh screen-4.0.2-10.1.i386.rpm the following error happens and the package is not installed. Preparing... ########################################### [100%] groupadd: cannot rewrite group file error: %pre(screen-4.0.2-10.1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 10 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping screen-4.0.2-10.1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): screen-4.0.2-10.1 How reproducible: Always
I can't seem to be able to reproduce this. Could you please give some details about your system? May be a problem with SELinux or other provision preventing %pre to add a new group.
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
