[::root@test /var/tmp]#
If you look at the above logs the rpm was stuck while doing the + groupadd -g 85 -r quaggavt command
When i try running the command separetly it was stuck in the same position.
hence i checked the /etc/nsswitch.conf file for any authentication issue.
and then i found that the /etc/nsswitch.conf has a ldap configuration and the ldap server was not reachable due to that the groupadd command was not working.
Removed the ldap configuration form the /etc/nsswitch.conf and i was able to install the quagga rpm successfully.
