[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: eudev
Version: 3.2.9-8~beowulf1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I just upgraded a number of packages on a machine where I had
manually added a `kvm` group.  This caused the postinst script
to fail with

  The group `kvm' already exists and is not a system group. Exiting.

leaving `eudev` unconfigured.

I don't know if the `kvm` *must* be a system group but things 
have been working fine for me with a non-system group.  As long as
a non-system `kvm` group exists, configuring `eudev` will fail.
This is easily confirmed with

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure eudev
  The group `kvm' already exists and is not a system group. Exiting.

Changing the group to a system group fixes this behaviour.

I worked around the issue by appending `|| true` in the postscript
to the `adduser` command that tries to create the system group.

If the `kvm` group does not have to be a system group, I would expect
configuration to succeed if a non-system `kvm` group is present.
