      +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1503661 +++
      Description of problem:

      Tomcat displays the following warning at install time if user 91 is already taken:

      "warning: group tomcat does not exist - using root"
      

      The install will succeed, but root will be used rather than the correct user, tomcat.
