Description paul 2005-09-24 07:07:56 UTC

Hmm, it seems webapp-config doesn't detect invalid groupnames if -p is given
the relevant line (1594) in webapp-config reads: if ! $(getent group | grep -q
"$G_CONGIG_GID" > /dev/null 2>&1);then "blala not valid"
but "getent groups | grep -q $whatever > /dev/null 2>&1" always evaluates to ""
(nothing) regardless if the name is valid or not.
and if you leave -p out, chown chokes during install.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

the attached patch resolves this issue and allows for numeric uid/gid. I don't
know if it's portable though.
