The following issue has been UPDATED. ====================================================================== https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4907 ====================================================================== Reported By: sishbi Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: cas_usergroup Issue ID: 4907 Category: packaging Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2012-02-24 10:43 CET Last Modified: 2015-03-21 13:02 CET ====================================================================== Summary: pkgutil -i subversion (with dependency sasl) fails due to reuse of group 100 Description: When trying to install subversion, a dependent package 'sasl' fails because group 100 is already in use Although there is no local group which uses the groupid of 100 the machine is part of a NIS domain which DOES have a group for 100 It would be better to not specify a group id and let the local system automatically generate one based on availability Attempting to remove the CSWsasl package fails. Attempting to install subversion again succeeds as the sasl package was partially installed (but not fully configured). After the 2nd install attempt, subversion is usable. ======================================================================

This code is already supposed to dynamically find an uid based on availability and I don't know why it didn't work in your case. I don't have a nis setup to reproduce the issue. It use the following command to know the uid used: /usr/bin/getent passwd | cut -d: -f3 | sort -n This command should works the same in a nis configuration. It could be useful that you reproduce the problem using: pkgutil --trace --install subversion and attach the output to this bug. This will enable debug mode for script and we will see clearly where the problem lies.
