No, with that (invalid) /etc/group file, something differently odd happens. Adduser uses gpasswd to set the new group members, and gpasswd doesn't accept ":" in a command line: $ sudo gpasswd -M Debian-console-log:Debian-exim adm gpasswd: unknown user Debian-console-log:Debian-exim I am getting the impression that this bug cannot be adduser's fault. I will therefore close this bug by 2005-11-30 if it remains unreproducible by then.
