useradd class not working

useradd class not working

[Otavio Salvador]

Hello,

I am using useradd in a recipe and it needs to add a group in the
rootfs at build time. This doesn't work.

it seems groupadd does nothing.

Has someone used or tried it?

That is the recipe that was used when testing this feature.  If it no longer
works properly then something has recently broken in the groupadd functionality.

Yes and I used it and openssh as base to my package but it seem to do nothing.

I tried to debug it and changed rootfs_ipk class to use "sh -x" when
running the preinst scripts of the packages and all seems fine however
it keeps not adding the group into rootfs/etc/group

I do appreciate help here since I am lost right now.

I got some more information during today's debug session ...

useradd class is working perfectly for sysroot. I've added it to
systemd package (from meta-oe) and the "lock" group shows in sysroot
as expected. It fails for rootfs only.

After long time researching the reasioning of failure I found it. I am
going to send a patchset tomorrow.
