Something else is causing this problem, because twm does not have any
rpm scriptlets.  The only thing in xorg-x11 packaging that has
'groupdel', is a very old script line in xfs scripts, which has been
commented out forever, but left there for documentive purposes.

Something else you were installing at the same time must have invoked
groupdel.
