Package: list
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi,

here is the problem on my system:

Setting up list (2.0.0-1) ...
chgrp: invalid group `stats'
chgrp: invalid group `stats'
dpkg: error processing list (--configure):

It is caused by this incorrect group existence test in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/list.postinst:

stats=`grep stats /etc/group 2>/dev/null`
if [ "${stats}" == ""  ]; then
        addgroup --system stats
fi

This test does not work on my system because /etc/group contains the
following line:

remstats:x:146:www-data

Therefore I propose that you replace the test with:

stats=`grep ^stats /etc/group 2>/dev/null`
