[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] How to disable %preuntrans & %sysusers creation while building an rpm (Discussion #3174)

[Shreenidhi Shedi]

I'm yet to root cause this issue because this started happening today and I have no idea how or why.

```
D: running %preuntrans scripts
D: ========== +++ systemd-255.2-5.ph5 x86_64-linux 0x2
D:   install: systemd-255.2-5.ph5.x86_64 has 732 files
D: %sysusers(systemd-255.2-5.ph5.x86_64): scriptlet start
D: %sysusers(systemd-255.2-5.ph5.x86_64): execv(/bin/sh) pid 3927
+ /usr/lib/rpm/sysusers.sh --replace /usr/lib/sysusers.d/basic.conf -
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.JhzjTt: line 2: /usr/lib/rpm/sysusers.sh: No such file or directory
D: %sysusers(systemd-255.2-5.ph5.x86_64): waitpid(3927) rc 3927 status 7f00
error: %sysusers(systemd-255.2-5.ph5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 127
package systemd-255.2-5.ph5.x86_64: script error in (unknown)
error: systemd-255.2-5.ph5.x86_64: install failed
D: ========== +++ systemd-255.2-4.ph5 x86_64-linux 0x2
```

I'm not adding anything like this in my systemd.spec but somehow while installing rpm is looking for sysusers.sh.
I have sysusers.sh packaged in my rpm.spec but what I don't understand is how it started showing up all of a sudden.

Link to my systemd spec
https://github.com/vmware/photon/blob/master/SPECS/systemd/systemd.spec

Link to sysusers.sh
https://github.com/vmware/photon/blob/master/SPECS/rpm/rpm.spec#L262

I'm using `rpm-4.19.1.1`
I commented out `__systemd_sysusers` from /lib/rpm/macros and then update goes smooth as expected.

But is there anyway to avoid embedding this info in rpm (systemd rpm in this case) during build time itself?

Please assist.
