I was just poking around in my /etc/groups when I found

Looking at the rtkit.install I notice that the group id isn't
hardcoded, so I don't quite know how this could have happened.

Is there likely to be any harm in renumbering the rtkit group to some unused id?


This was a bug in shadow that is fixed by the package in [testing]. There is no harm in changing the group id, but I would reinstall rtkit so that its files permissions are set to the new group id (or do it manually yourself).
