Details

currently, uwsgi package comes with a logrotate config file which contains: "su root uwsgi"

this makes logrotate fail with "error: uwsgi:9 unknown group 'uwsgi'" and,m indeed, there is no such group.

probably a systemd sysusers.d snippet that creates the group is missing from the package.

OR! ...it looks like the group is not used anywhere, anyway, so i may be cleaner to just drop the "su" line from logrotate config and leave it to use the default root user and group.
This task depends upon

confirming that commenting out the "su" line from /etc/logrotate.d/uwsgi solved the issue for me

Seems to have been broken by https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/uwsgi&id=c89c2450f246c16baf16fc308323f4fa041c3755

Ok, please test now. It should create the group now. I think that is the cleanest approach here.

yeah, seems to be working fine. still, it feels like the uwsgi group is not being used anywhere (the daemon itself does not use it) so it just messes up the system.

True, it's only used for the logrotate currently. I think that's a fairly proper way to do it but I'm open to feedback.
