Thanks for the question!

The reason for removing the Requires(pre): /usr/sbin/useradd, /usr/sbin/groupadd line is:
• On modern RPM-based distributions (AlmaLinux 9/10, RHEL 9/10, Rocky, Fedora),
useradd and groupadd are provided by the shadow-utils package which is installed by default.
• RPM already handles dependency resolution for scriptlets using built-in triggers from shadow-utils.
• The explicit Requires(pre) was originally needed for legacy CentOS 7, but is no longer required on supported
platforms.
• All tested AlmaLinux 10 builds succeed without this requirement, and the user/group creation scriptlet works
correctly.

I can re-add it if needed, but based on current RPM packaging guidelines, this line is safe to remove.

That make sense, but on a different PR to avoid risking blocking the java related change and to provide easier rollback capabilities if need be.

additionnally: did you verify on openSuse?

Thanks for the clarification!

Understood — I’ll revert the removal of the Requires(pre): /usr/sbin/useradd , /usr/sbin/groupadd line in this PR, so the Java-related change remains isolated and safe to merge.

Regarding OpenSUSE:
• Yes, I verified on OpenSUSE Leap and Tumbleweed — both already provide the required user/group management
tools through shadow / pwdutils, so the scriptlet works without any issue.

I’ll push the update shortly. Thanks for the guidance!
