Useless "group system does not exist - using root" messages
Seeing a lot of these because of the -v
option on the rpm
command (hundreds on the git install).
group system does not exist - using root
Am wondering if we should remove the -v
option and just stick with -hU
which still gives us the name of the rpm being installed (with hash progress). I am assuming errors would still be communicated even without -v
being specified.
Thoughts?

reporter Maybe we could add a verbose on/off option to chroot_setup.sh and pkg_setup.sh?

Nevermind. I tried taking the
-v
option offrpm
and it didn't remove thegroup system does not exist - using root
messages and instead only altered the hash logging to omit the name of the package being installed.Closing issue.

I was confused about that message when i installed rpms. Would be nice if you could remove it to avoid confusion.

Account Deleted i not sure silence is golden ... not easy to turn off, AIX binaries with AIX group thinking we force onto PASE. I am thinking no action here, unless better case made.

reporter The only way I can think to turn it off would be to route it to a temp file, sanitize for messages we don't want to see, and then put the sanitized result back to stdout. I am not a huge fan of this approach. I think this is a very low priority given its complications.

Account Deleted yep, just to record for later ... possibly scsan/filter on fly using stderr redirect 2>&1, but again low priority (me thinks).

reporter I realize this issue is closed but I wanted to document for those coming here after the fact.
Tony made this commit that addresses the issue by adding user profiles being looked for.

Account Deleted Yes. We are using AIX RPMs, Perzl, AIX Toolbox. Sometimes just easier to go with flow of AIX.
Create a group profile(s): CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(SYSTEM) PASSWORD(*NONE) USRCLS(*SYSOPR) TEXT('AIX rpm group') SPCAUT(*USRCLS) GID(*GEN) AUT(*ALL) CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(BIN) PASSWORD(*NONE) USRCLS(*SYSOPR) TEXT('AIX rpm group') SPCAUT(*USRCLS) GID(*GEN) AUT(*ALL) Note: You may choose authorization settings.
This is optional. Install rpm message is not fatal installing AIX RPMs on IBM i. Also, not an issue for folks that use IBM i only RPMs, PTFs, etc. However, personally, i am in favour of joining larger community of AIX RPMs, widen our IBM i pond of RPM resources beyond our smaller IBM i community. All users will have to decide, but best to have options available.

Dunno. Sort of a verbose or not (eye of beholder). BTW -- i am out this afternoon, back tomorrow, then out next week.
