Package: roundup
Version: 1.3.3-3
Severity: important

During installation:

| Selecting previously deselected package roundup.
| (Reading database ... 221017 files and directories currently installed.)
| Unpacking roundup (from .../roundup_1.3.3-3_all.deb) ...
| groupmod: 113 is not a unique GID
| Setting up roundup (1.3.3-3) ...
| Starting Roundup HTTP-Server: roundup-server.
| 
| Press return to continue.

Upon investigation:

| $ cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
| $ grep -n groupmod roundup.*
| roundup.preinst:18:     groupmod -g `id -u roundup` roundup || true
| $ id roundup
| uid=113(roundup) gid=112(roundup) groups=112(roundup)

The postinst is trying to forcibly set the GID to match the UID, and
this is not working because that GID is already in use.

Is it even necessary to futz with the GID?  If not, this line could
simply be removed.
