Description David Disseldorp 2024-02-05 03:47:51 UTC 
When running zypper dup to upgrade tumbleweed from 20240128-0 -> 20240202-0 I run into the following problem, as a result of the lighttpd minor upgrade:

Problem: nothing provides 'group(lighttpd)' needed by the to be installed lighttpd-1.4.73-1.2.x86_64
 Solution 1: deinstallation of lighttpd-1.4.73-1.1.x86_64
 Solution 2: keep obsolete lighttpd-1.4.73-1.1.x86_64
 Solution 3: break lighttpd-1.4.73-1.2.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

The "lighttpd" user and group already exist:

> id -g lighttpd
468
> id -u lighttpd
106


I was hoping to fix this myself, but the spec file at https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/server:http/lighttpd/lighttpd.spec doesn't appear to have *any* "Requires: group(lighttpd)" line - perhaps it's added via some magic macro?

Please see the many, many announcements around RPM 4.19, especially from openSUSE, which also contains a link to the openSUSE Packaging guidelines how to fix that.
Since the filelist is using group lighttpd, RPM needs this group created upfront and thus adds automatically a dependency for it.
