Still:
# Allow preseeding the groups to which the first created user is added
Template: passwd/user-default-groups
Type: string
Default: audio cdrom dip floppy video plugdev netdev powerdev scanner bluetooth debian-tor lpadmin
Description: for internal use only
The code that uses this:
if [ -n "$USER" ]; then
db_get passwd/user-default-groups
for group in $RET; do
$log $chroot $ROOT adduser "$USER" $group >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
done
fi
After more thinking, my (wild) guess is that, at the time this is
done, these groups...do not exist on the system. And "adduser <user>
<group>" then fails when "<group>" doesn't exist.
If I'm right, there are probably traces of this is the installer log, I'd guess.
