[Bug 1785584] Re: package dovecot-core 1:2.2.33.2-1ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed dovecot-core package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
That is most curious :) Thanks for coming back to us with what happened, good to know it's fixed. I'll mark this bug as invalid then, but if you ever see this again, or find out how the incorrect group name ended in /etc/group, please let us know, and feel free to reopen the bug if you think it was caused by the package somehow.
