About a week ago the "solution" to https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9262 was accepted into OE-Core. This is supposed to solve the problem that users/groups are not removed from the sysroot when the recipe is cleansstated. The solution, however, totally fails to handle the case where multiple recipes have installed the same user/group causing the build to fail all over the place.
We have a lot of recipes that installs users and groups, many of which are created by multiple recipes. An example of how this change broke for us: Recipe libwsd creates the wsd group. Recipe wsd creates the wsd group and the wsd user which has the wsd group as it primary group. When the libwsd recipe needs to be rebuilt the following error occurs: groupdel: cannot remove the primary group of user 'wsd' and the build aborts. If a solution like this is supposed to be implemented it needs to keep track of all recipes that install a particular user/group and only when all of them have been removed can the user/group be removed. Until that has been solved, the current solution needs to be reverted...
