Title:
  claims to remove "nogroup" but doesn't

Status in “adduser” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: adduser

  Upon deletion of a system user in nogroup, deluser claims to delete it
  because no user is in this group. But many other system users have
  nogroup as their primary group, and deluser does not delete nogroup
  after all (it just prints this wrong message):

  root at sauron:/etc# deluser --system mt-daapd
  Removing user `mt-daapd' ...
  Warning: Removing group `nogroup', since no other user is part of it.
  Done.
  root at sauron:/etc# getent group nogroup
  nogroup:x:65534:
  root at sauron:/etc# 

  Just a minor bug, probably not urgent (or even worth at all) to be
  fixed in hardy.
