Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.8.0-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
While upgrade my Sid box, network-manager failed to install cause the postinst
exited as the netdev group already exists, causing the addgroup command
to fail.
The addgroup should probably use a construct similar to this:
if ! getent group netdev >/dev/null
then
addgroup --quiet --system netdev
fi
Cheers!

I think there is nothing to fix on the network-manager side, but this
was just a local misconfiguration, where the netdev group was
incorrectly created as non-system group.
I'm therefor closing the bug report.
