Description Raphael Gertz 2024-03-02 18:07:07 CET 
Description of problem:
It seems there is a problem with kdesu package:
  100/409: kdesu [...] warning : group nobody does not exist - using root
#[...]#

Here I have:
$ grep nobody /etc/passwd
nobody:x:65534:65534:Nobody:/:/bin/sh
$ grep 65534 /etc/group
nogroup:x:65534:

Shoudn't the nobody:nobody file be fixed to be owned by nobody:nogroup ?

Problem seems to come from these lines:

mga9:
%attr(2755,root,nobody) %_kf5_libexecdir/kdesud

mga10:
%attr(2755,root,nobody) %_kf6_libexecdir/kdesud

Group should be nogroup and not nobody.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdesu-5.114.0-1.mga9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update kdesu from release version to backports
2. See message while upgrade
