Issue #13078 has been updated by Patrick Carlisle.
As I understand it this is from the choice to identify the group by the name and not by the gid within puppet. You can create and delete groups, or change the gid of a group, but not rename a group. I think you could just use two resources to delete the first name and create the second. ---------------------------------------- Bug #13078: Renaming a group fails: "groupadd: GID already exists" https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13078#change-56755 Author: Bill Tong Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: group { 'originally-old': ensure => present, gid => 5, name => 'newname', } fails with GID already exists. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
