Hello,

When updating my system today, I got the following warning:
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/tpm2-tss.conf:2: Conflict with earlier configuration for user 'tss' in /usr/lib/sysusers.d/swtpm-sysusers.conf:1, ignoring line.

Both tpm-udev and swtpm-tools are shipping a sysusers file and both are
defining a tts user but with different configuration:

$ cat /usr/lib/sysusers.d/swtpm-sysusers.conf
u! tss - "TPM software stack" /var/lib/swtpm-localca
$ cat /usr/lib/sysusers.d/tpm2-tss.conf
#Type Name ID GECOS               Home directory Shell
u     tss  -  "tss user for tpm2"

Kind regards,
Laurent Bigonville
