[Solved]groupadd error during install systemtap package

HI all,

Greetings from me! I try to install systemtap package:

$ makepkg -si
......
groupadd: PAM: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info
make[5]: *** [Makefile:845: install-exec-hook] Error 2
make[5]: Leaving directory '/home/nan/systemtap/src/systemtap-4.0/stapbpf'
make[4]: *** [Makefile:779: install-exec-am] Error 2
make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/nan/systemtap/src/systemtap-4.0/stapbpf'
make[3]: *** [Makefile:722: install-am] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/nan/systemtap/src/systemtap-4.0/stapbpf'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:716: install] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/nan/systemtap/src/systemtap-4.0/stapbpf'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:2046: install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/nan/systemtap/src/systemtap-4.0'
make: *** [Makefile:2292: install] Error 2
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...

Previously, installation of packages from AUR always succeeded. This is my first time to meet "groupadd: PAM: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info".

Could anyone give some help? Thanks very much in advance!

Best Regards
Nan Xiao

Re: [Solved]groupadd error during install systemtap package

The systemtap package has not been updated to 4.1 which includes this commit for that issue [1]
The PKGBUILD then needs to be modified to set the ownership and mode of the executables.

[1] https://sourceware.org/git/?p=systemtap … ac8a33f18f
Edit:
Initial attempt at package update
update pkgver to 4.1
switch group creation to sysusers.d (stapuser gid 156 others dynamic) and remove the install file
fix ownship and permissions of staprun,stapbpf in package function (permissions 04110 breaks stripping of those binaries)

Re: [Solved]groupadd error during install systemtap package

@loqs Your patch installed systemtap successfully. Could you check it into AUR? Thanks very much for your help!
