Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of response. For RPM issues, please try a current release such as Fedora Core 4; if bugs persist, please open a new issue.
No problem. This issue is still present in all supported OS releases. Reopening and reassigning to FC4.
This bug does not define what it means with invalid. I'm assuming this is not in: /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.4.2/GROUPS Group policy is distribution based and seperate to the mechanism within rpm itself. External tools such as rpmlint, etc can perform distribution specific policy checking. Having group validation in rpmbuild is currently not a desired goal.
