You should give more info on how you managed to get into this situation. The real problem is that the postdrop group has been removed while it was still in use by dpkg for some statoverride information. Either postfix did drop the group without unregistering the statoverride, or you made a mistake and dropped the group while you shouldn't. Reassigning to postfix in the mean time.
