Bug#584763: /usr/bin/dzhandle: dzhandle manpage wrongly says defaultgroup may be omitted

[Paul Gevers]

Package: zope-common
Version: 0.5.45
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/dzhandle

The man page of dzhandle says:
    --service-user=SRVUSER
      system  user  used to run this instance (in the form ‘user:groupdefault’); 
      this setting can be modified later editing the zope.conf file of the
      instance. ‘groupdefault’ can be omitted.
while the code in makezopeinstance uncondition checks for the group. Therefore omitting the group causes an error in getgrname.
