Somehow I've managed to have a vboxusers group, which is not system group.

In this case, the postrm of virtualbox-ose fails, because
/usr/sbin/delgroup --quiet --system vboxusers
returns error status 3 and the postrm script uses "set -e".

This prevents the package from being purged.

The attached patch fixes this, by using "|| true" to ignore the error.
