This is intended behavior. If you want to add a group, run addgroup. Many programs behave differently based on ARGV[0], and this is just another of them. You left out an important part: /usr/sbin/adduser -h adduser --group [--gid ID] GROUP addgroup [--gid ID] GROUP Add a user group So this is advertised as a supported syntax. I don't mind and have no objection to using addgroup exclusively for this purpose, but then adduser must not advtise that it works. Hmm. All right, I'll review it in the next couple of days and either remove the advertising of the option, or allow it to work.

I have made this bug severity wishlist for now. I actually would prefer to close it, as I don't believe it's a bug. I am leaving it open for now, and if you convince me that I'm wrong, we can look into it.
