Package: gsm-utils
Version: 1.10-9
Followup-For: Bug #353967

the postinst script should be using the
``addgroup --system gsmsms'' command to add entries to /etc/group.

The way it is doing this now prevents addition of new users to the
system once gsm-utils is installed.

This is what happened to me after I tried to add a user after
installing gsm-utils.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/foobar# adduser barfoo
Adding user `barfoo'...
Adding new group `barfoo' (1003).
groupadd: GID 1003 is not unique
adduser: `/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 1003 barfoo' returned error code 4. Aborting.
