    yum remove gitolite3
    userdel gitolite
    userdel gitolite3
    yum install tuleap-plugin-git

    Hello,

    This is weird because the specfile does check if there is already a "gitolite" user on the system and does create the home folder if that's the case.

    if getent passwd gitolite >/dev/null; then
    /usr/sbin/usermod -c 'Git' -d '/var/lib/gitolite' -g gitolite gitolite
    else
    /usr/sbin/useradd -r -c 'Git' -m -d '/var/lib/gitolite' -g gitolite gitolite
    fi


    This means you have already an UNIX user named "gitolite" on your server before the installation of Tuleap. You should check why that's the case.
