[Adduser-devel] Bug#351681: adduser tries to re-use existing GID

[Rob Browning]

reopen 351681
thanks

Hmm.  It looks like this bug may have re-surfaced:

  # adduser nonexistent
  Adding user `nonexistent'...
  Adding new group `nonexistent' (1002).
  groupadd: GID 1002 is not unique
  adduser: `/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 1002 nonexistent' returned error code 4.  Aborting.

  # adduser --version | head -1
  adduser: add a user or group to the system.  Version 3.84

I'd be happy to provide more information or perform further tests as
needed.  On this system, postfix is already assigned group 1002.

Thanks
