[Python-apps-team] Bug#516317: wicd: Add system user instead of system group?

[Julien Valroff]

Package: wicd
Version: 1.5.9-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Wicd postinst script adds the netdev system user, but I think you wanted 
to create the system group instead:
        if [ ! $(getent group netdev) ]; then
                adduser --quiet --system netdev
        fi

should be:
        if [ ! $(getent group netdev) ]; then
                addgroup --quiet --system netdev
        fi

Cheers,
Julien
