[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#499014: dbus - Fails to install: chown: invalid group: `messagebus:messagebus'

[Joachim Breitner]

Version: 1.8.18-1

Hi,

I just hit this or a related problem. In a fresh sid chroot, eventually
dpkg would complain:

$ apt-get install nettle-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  nettle-dev
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/839 kB of archives.
After this operation, 1912 kB of additional disk space will be used.
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 unknown group 'messagebus' in statoverride file
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

It seems that this is due to schroot copying the hosts’s passwd and
other files – this might be useful information for others finding this
report.

Greetings,
Joachim
