Description Mads Kiilerich 2012-08-13 14:58:48 UTC 
When yum updating from f17 to f18 I get

  Updating   : polkit-0.107-2.fc18.x86_64         166/436 
warning: user polkitd does not exist - using root
warning: user polkitd does not exist - using root

- and the polkitd user do not exist after upgrading.

Removing the package (with force) and installing it again works correctly and the %pre will correctly create the user.

I have no idea why it didn't work while updating.
