Bug#781266: r-base-core: Package fails to install when there is no group names staff on the system
Package: r-base-core Version: 3.1.1-1+b2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable When installing the package `r-base-core` (or anything that depends on it) on a clean jessie install (not upgraded) then the depricated staff group will not exist and the calls to `chown root:staff /usr/local/lib/R` and `chown root:staff /usr/local/lib/R/site-library` will fail.

Upon reflection, I'll make it 'adm'. We still need to think through if this warrants an update for Jessie.

When did 'staff' get deprecated? As far as I'm aware, never. Policy lists no such status for the group, nor does base-passwd's changelog. A freshly deboostrapped jessie root both contains the staff group and has /usr/local owned by that group, as Policy 9.1.2 specifies that it must. I don't know how the submitter got their system into such a state, but this is in no way release-critical. In fact, it's most likely not a bug at all. So long as r-base-core ensures that /usr/local actually exists before attempting to chown things under it (as 9.1.2 also allows for /usr/local to be removed) then this report should be closed. If /usr/local exists then Policy by extension requires that the staff group also exist.
