aptitude -y reinstall xml-core

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Setting up xml-core (0.16) ...
chown: invalid group: 'root:staff'
dpkg: error processing package xml-core (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
