DPKG unknown group `Debian-exim’ in statoverride file
I ran into a similar problem on my server. I installed webmin and deleted a user “postgrey” from there. I thought that I had already uninstalled postgrey, but I guess not. My error was “dpkg: syntax error: unknown user `postgrey’ in statoverride file”. Here’s what I did:
sudo apt-get update
sudo /etc/init.d/webmin stop
sudo vi /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride (I deleted the line with postgrey)
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get install postgrey (I wanted to make sure everything was installed correctly before uninstalling this time)
sudo apt-get purge postgrey
sudo apt-get update
sudo /etc/init.d/webmin start
sudo apt-get update
sudo /etc/init.d/webmin stop
sudo vi /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride (I deleted the line with postgrey)
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get install postgrey (I wanted to make sure everything was installed correctly before uninstalling this time)
sudo apt-get purge postgrey
sudo apt-get update
sudo /etc/init.d/webmin start
