No, I think you've a problem with your group configuration, probably some syntax error, say by a hand edit, which causes any package that wants to manipulate groups on installation to fail. speech-dispatcher and dhcpcd-base are just the two triggering packages. So I'd start with pwck(8) and grpck(8) as mentioned before. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2026-10-06 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... https://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:[email protected]
