Description Ulrich Beckmann 2019-07-05 17:58:53 CEST 
If you select in
MCC -> System -> Manage users on system 
select "Create a private group for the user" and "Specify user ID manually"
the group id should be the same as the user ID, just as # useradd does. An error   message should be given, if the group ID is already assigned. 

Tested on a fresh installation of Mageia 7, classical iso, x86_64.

How reproducible:
always

@packager, if you work on the Mageia 7 version of your package, please check the Mageia 8 package if issue is also present. In this case, please fix the Mageia 8 version instead.

This bug report will be closed OLD if there is no further notice within 1st September 2021.

Hi bug reporter and hi assignee and others involved,

Please reopen this bug report if it is still valid for Mageia 8 or 9(cauldron), and change "Version:" in the upper left of this report accordingly.

This report is being closed as OLD because it was filed against Mageia 7, for which  support ended on June 30th 2021.

Thanks,
Marja
