So, did I understand this correctly? User postgres already existed, but
group postgres didn't? adduser will not create the group only in this
case.

I could create the group separately, but usually this situation means
that you have  a half-broken installation already. If you use NIS
authentication, then you should have both users and groups in nis, not
just users. Will 'addgroup postgresql' create the group in NIS for you
or just locally?

** Changed in: postgresql-common (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Summary changed:

- can not install postgresql-8.2 on amd 64 on ubuntu 7.04
+ install failure if user postgres already exists and group postgres is missing
