Bug#648287: postinst install error with 0.1.13.1
I've got the same problem and indeed `scanner' is a non-system group (created by hand) on my system. % sudo addgroup --system scanner addgroup: The group `scanner' already exists and is not a system group.

Bug#648287: postinst install error with 0.1.13.1
Hi! Christopher James Halse Rogers r...@ubuntu.com (17/11/2011): Huh. addgroup is only expected to fail in a couple of ways, none of which we should be able to hit with that line. About the only documented way I could see that happening is if you've already got a non-system group called ‘scanner’. Does that describe your system? Can you remove the --quiet switch from that command and see what gets printed out? Thanks. The moreinfo tag got added a while ago; since we have no news on this subject (and I can't replicate it here), I'd suggest downgrading the severity to something non-RC.
