Bug#473379: deluser incorrectly warns that a group has no more members
Package: adduser
Version: 3.107
When deleting a user which is a member of the `users'' group,
`deluser''
gives an incorrect warning:
| [10:58:14]~# deluser foo
| Removing user `foo'' ...
| Warning: group `users'' has no more members.
| Done.
| [10:59:14]~#
While there are no members of this group left in /etc/group:
| [10:59:37]~# grep users /etc/group
| users:x:100:
| [10:59:45]~#
there are still several users who have `100'' as their default gid in
/etc/passwd.
