logcheck calls adduser in its postinst, relevant snippet:
# check for logcheck in adm group
if ! getent group adm | grep logcheck > /dev/null; then
adduser --quiet logcheck adm || true
fi
usually that works as expected.
please post your /etc/group-,
so that the adduser maintainer can investigate eventual breakage.
thanks
