Issue with "zypper install stunnel"

English Install/Boot/Login
1

When I try to install the stunnel into the SUSE linux, I got the below response information:

bash-4.4# zypper install -l -y stunnel
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
Resolving package dependencies…

Problem: nothing provides group(nogroup) needed by stunnel-5.49-37.14.x86_64

  • Solution 1: do not install stunnel-5.49-37.14.x86_64*
  • Solution 2: break stunnel-5.49-37.14.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies*

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): c

anyone can tell me the problem “nothing provides group(nogroup)” means exactly what? how to fix?
I have tried to add nogroup by command “groupadd nogroup”, seems not help.

thanks.

I see that group(nogroup) is indeed a dependancy. To me that is a strange notation for a dependency. I assume there is something wrong here.

Maybe first wait a bit until others chime in here, else file a bug report at https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports

I just installed “stunnel” without problems.

It does have a dependency on “group(nogroup)” so I must have something installed that meets that requirement.

I did a search for “group” in Yast. It lists the package “system-user-nobody” as installed. When I click on the “Dependencies” tab, it shows as providing “group(nogroup)” in addition to “group(nobody)”.

Maybe try installing “system-user-nobody” and see if that helps.

Hmm, that comes from the main repo. Maybe check your repos, and make sure that the main repo is enabled. It shows here as having name “Main repository”, alias “repo-oss” and url “http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.1/repo/oss/”. It is almost certain that you have that repo configured, but you might have inadvertently disabled it.

I looked a bit further. The OSS repo of 15.1 has stunnel 5.44-lp150.3.3 and that is not what you try to install.

Thus maybe should explain more elaborate what you are doing. We can not look over your shoulder!

There is a 5.49 in the 15.1 security repo…

https://software.opensuse.org/package/stunnel

The User should just verify that is where this package is from, and not installing from a bad choice like a TW repo.

hi,

Thanks for all of your help.
Maybe I need make more clear about what I am doing.

Actually I try to install the stunnel in one docker image which based on SUSE sles:15 OS.
From the website Install package security:Stunnel / stunnel , I found

For SLE-15 run the following as root:

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:Stunnel/SLE-15/security:Stunnel.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install stunnel

but when run this “zypper install stunnel”, I got the issue

*bash-4.4# zypper install -l -y stunnel

I wonder how to fix this “nothing provides group(nogroup)” problem, I have tried “groupadd nogroup”, seems no help.

maybe the https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:Stunnel/SLE-15/security:Stunnel.repo is not right choice for the sles:15 ?

but can somehow fix this nogroup issue manually before run “zypper install stunnel”?

That is of course the most important thing to do when you want adequate help.

Then why do you say your thread is about LEAP15.1?

You are spoiling our time!

For SLES/SLED please go to Rancher Labs

Hi,

Sorry for your time on this question.
I was not sure how big the difference is beween the LEAP and SLED…, not know this is not the right place to ask, I jsut find this forum and try to see if can get some help.
Everyone’s knowledge is not enough for all the domain, this is why I ask for help here.

Br,

It is not so much about the fact that you try here, but that you then make us think that you use LEAP 15.1 and do not explain anything about what you have, try and do.

It is like calling up a car repair shop and saying, I have a Dodge and …,where you in fact have a Ford. :frowning:

We are happy to point everyone that comes here by incident in the right direction, like in this case point to the SLES forums, but we are not clairvoyant.
