Package: adduser Version: 3.77 Severity: normal If a line in /etc/group ends with a colon, adduser user group removes the last user listed in /etc/group:
$ cat /etc/group | grep ^adm adm:x:4:Debian-console-log,mh: $ sudo adduser --debug Debian-exim adm Adding user Debian-exim' to group adm'... Done. $ cat /etc/group | grep ^adm adm:x:4:Debian-console-log,Debian-exim $ Setting $verbose=2 prior to the systemcall() in the adduser code reveals that adduser calls /usr/bin/gpasswd -M Debian-console-log,Debian-exim adm so it is really adduser's fault that mh vanishes from the user list.
