Per this comment in bug #355907: I can confirm that this is fix-released in Lucid.
In Jaunty, we had: if ! getent group libvirt >/dev/null; then addgroup --system libvirtd fi Now it's fixed with: if ! getent group libvirtd >/dev/null; then addgroup --system libvirtd fi ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Assignee: Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) => (unassigned) -- postinst fails with addgroup: The group `libvirtd' already exists as a system group. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273748 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
