[Bug 463562] [NEW] libvirt-bin Karmic upgrade fails when invalid users exist in /etc/group

[iMac]

Public bug reported:

During the upgrade process, I received a:
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libvirt-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Manually running the upgrade process, I received additional output:

root at n8-laptop:~# apt-get dist-upgrade

Setting up libvirt-bin (0.7.0-1ubuntu13) ...
adduser: The user 'moose' does not exist.
dpkg: error processing libvirt-bin (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libvirt-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

It turns out I have a user from my home ldap (moose) in my libvirtd group along with my local user shown below:
/etc/group:
libvirtd:x:125:imac,moose,imacdonald

In this case, I removed the offending user 'moose' and proceeded without
error.

This happened in my Karmic Upgrade from 9.04 up-to-date.
