package colord 0.1.16-2 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage:
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit

Bug description:
[Impact]
Upgrades from 11.10 to 12.04 fail indicating "exit status 1" from
installing/upgrading colord.
[Discussion]
/var/lib/dpkg/info/colord.postinst does not produce helpful error messages
even if run manually. But the script is trying to run this command:
addgroup --quiet --system scanner
Running it without the --quiet option reveals the error:
sudo addgroup --system scanner
addgroup: The group `scanner' already exists and is not a system group.
Exiting.
So there's the problem: the group is already there but is not a system
group. Taking a look at the group I see:
$ grep scanner /etc/group
scanner:x:1001:colord
Indeed it is not a system group, and it only seems to be used by
colord.
[Test Case]
1. Install Ubuntu 11.10
2. ???
3. Upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04
Expected: Successful upgrade with no errors
Actual: Upgrade hits this error - "package colord 0.1.16-2 failed to
install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script
returned error exit status 1"
[Workaround]
sudo delgroup scanner
sudo apt-get install -f
[Original Report]
No idea. The installation was going on and suddenly this message appears.
