Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7
Severity: normal
Today I've tried to
Dear Maintainer, today I've found that (after I've purged sasl2-bin some days
ago) I can't install mpop package.
apt-get fails with following messages:
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
syntax error: unknown group 'sasl' in statoverride file
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
After some investigation I've found that file /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride
contains line:
root sasl 660 /etc/sasldb2
Manual removal of that line has been solved the problem. File does not exist
itself at specified location.
PS. Version I've entered may be not exact (I've got it from filename under

The reason this occurs is because you have removed the sasl group from
your system. At least, that is the only way could get the error to
appear.
Keep in mind that the sasl group is a system group which is part of
every standard Debian install. Therefore, the fact that the
statoverride is left behind should not cause the error you encountered.
Aside from that, the administrator can choose to leave the /etc/sasldb2
database even when purging the sasl2-bin package, making it unwise to
remove the statoverride.
As a result, I am closing this bug report.
Regards,
-Roberto
