Is this issue related to another bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648287

As the superuser,

Command:
addgroup --system scanner
Result:
addgroup: The group `scanner' already exists and is not a system group. Exiting.

Command:
adduser --system --group --home /var/lib/colord colord --debug --gecos
"colord colour management daemon"
Result:
Selecting UID from range 100 to 999 ...
Selecting GID from range 100 to 999 ...
Adding system user `colord' (UID 113) ...
Adding new group `colord' (GID 117) ...
/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 117 colord

/usr/sbin/usermod -p * colord
/usr/bin/chage -M 99999 colord
/usr/bin/chfn -f colord colour management daemon colord
Creating home directory `/var/lib/colord' ...


[|--> NOTE: that all this had not done by the package installer till
now. That, when the postinstallation script was obviously read, as
that is where the installation failed. Perhaps a system user cannot
have a non-system group?]



Command:
chown -v -R colord:colord /var/lib/colord
Result:
ownership of `/var/lib/colord' retained as colord:colord

Command:
apt-get -V --reinstall install colord
Result:

E: Internal Error, No file name for colord:amd64


However, after command:
delgroup scanner
and running through the previous steps again (i.e., having the group
`scanner' as a system group this time), the problem remains. (At the
final step, I still get ‘E: Internal Error, No file name for
colord:amd64’.)
