Bug#928119: bumblebee: Fails to install on a domain-joined machine

[Alex Thiessen]

Package: bumblebee
Version: 3.2.1-14
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   I have a notebook which is joined a (Windows) domain, as provided by
   my company's IT department. It uses the _backports_ kernel because it
   is rather new. It has the `admins` group which contains the local
   admin (_ladmin_) and a few domain users (our IT administrators).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   apt install -t stretch-backports bumblebee primus libgl1-nvidia-glx

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   Configuration failure:
   > Setting up bumblebee (3.2.1-14) ...
   > Adding members from group(s) 'adm sudo admin' to 'bumblebee':
   > ladmin z0004jhn z0004jic z0007mda z000f94i z000hdew z001kjhu z0020u3p z002ukvs z003s73f
   > Adding user ladmin to group bumblebee
   > gpasswd: user 'z0004jhn' does not exist
   > dpkg: error processing package bumblebee (--configure):
   >  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3
   > dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of primus:
   >  primus depends on bumblebee; however:
   >   Package bumblebee is not configured yet.
   > 
   > dpkg: error processing package primus (--configure):
   >  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   Successful installation
