It would.  The "clamupdate" user and group already exist then and it
doesn't have to add them.  It's strictly with a new installation of
ClamAV where the user and group doesn't exist that it fails to create
them and causes problems later on.  Existing systems are not impacted.
The only reason I ran into this was when I set up a new, pristine, F18
system for testing out NST (Network Security Toolkit) respin builds and
it started hurling chunks with ClamAV.
