I think the problem is that there’s a stale /etc/group.lock file (this
is what ‘groupadd’ reports.)
Christian: could you try to remove that file (you may need to access the
partition from another system, for example) and reboot?
We shouldn’t be ignoring groupadd’s return value, but there’s nothing
sane we can do, is there?
Thanks,
