It's really irritating to have to scroll through 2700+ lines to find the one test 
that failed.  Even then, there is a lot of meaningless text.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have no idea where this comes from.  The user should be 'tester' which should have 
an id of 101.

It looks like you may have missed the command 'groupadd -g 102 dummy -U tester' or 
are not running the test in chroot.

In any case, I suggest ignoring a single error.
