[arch-dev-public] policykit install problem

[Dan McGee]

Guys, we have some big problems with groups.

( 9/31) installing policykit                        [---------------------] 100%
groupadd: GID 102 is not unique
useradd: unknown group policykit
chgrp: invalid group: `policykit'
chown: invalid user: `policykit'
chown: invalid user: `policykit:policykit'
chown: invalid user: `policykit'
chgrp: invalid group: `policykit'
chgrp: invalid group: `policykit'
chgrp: invalid group: `policykit'
chgrp: invalid group: `policykit'
chgrp: invalid group: `policykit'

Taking a peek at /etc/groups I saw this:

kvm:x:101:
tex:x:102:

We really shouldn't be creating groups above 100, should we? Even more
of a problem is explicitly specifying 102 in the policykit install
script. These are reserved for user use. Your input is definitely
welcome on this.
