This sounds like https://bugs.debian.org/794280 which was already
discussed: Apparently you have an "input" group which is not already a
system group. There is some broken advice out there (like
http://ptichy.blogspot.pt/2014/08/configure-evrouter-on-ubuntu-1404.html)
which creates the group in a wrong way, and e. g.
https://bugs.debian.org/769948 changed that to make it more obvious
what happened.

But it sounds like the upgrade was interrupted in the middle? Please
clean up the input group (either remove or make it a system group),
and run apt-get -f install, to fix the broken upgrade. How does it
look like then?

Downgrading to non-RC for now as this does not affect a lot of
machines and we don't have enough information yet.

Thanks,

Martin
