Bug#762275: Solution
Hi, I also have the same (or similar) problem. This is what I found. The solution that worked for me is at the end of the mail. # dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/systemd_215-4_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 729731 files and directories currently installed.)

With the amount of information from the original bug submitter, it's hard to tell if this is the same issue as yours. In your case, you apparently had an existing systemd-journal group, which was not a system group, so addgroup errors out. This is not a bug in the Debian package. Most likely you had created that group yourself in the past.

I think quiet should suppress non-fatal warnings/errors only, but not messages which will cause it to exit with non-zero return code. We added --quiet only because users were concerned / confused when they saw messages as reported in #759175, which are non-fatal. Michal, do you mind filing a bug report against adduser? -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Especially since man adduser(8) has: --quiet Suppress informational messages, only show warnings and errors. So that clearly sounds like a bug. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
