Package: systemd
Version: 215-2
Severity: grave
After installation systemd.postinst fails with code 1 when the group
systemd-journal already exists because then addgroup returns code 1 even
with --quiet.
To resolve this I added || true in line 98 so that the script continues:
addgroup --quiet --system systemd-journal || true

Yeah, you apparently created that group yourself, not using the --system
option. So it is correct that adduser fails in that case (and actually
good, so you have chance to fix it).
Please fix that local misconfiguration and the problem will go away.
It's probably easiest to delete the group and re-create it with --system
and then chgrp /var/log/journal
