The last Failed to write message is the only real error.   The other messages are informational.    The /etc/gshadow is basically trying to add the group users and it already being in the file, which is informational.

The real error will be coming from one of the install scripts in one of the rpms and that is what needs to be changed (bug report on the rpm giving that error to correct the error).  And you don't know exactly what rpm is doing it nor what file it is trying to write to.

No such entries are in /etc/group. /etc/gshadow has permissions of 000, with last update of may 20,2021. Do these setting need to be changed?
