Dear Maintainer,
on my ap to date Debian Sid system
$ man addgroup # says
...
Add an existing user to an existing group
If called with two non-option arguments, adduser will add an existing
user to an existing group.
...
$
but when I try to add a user to a group, this is what it happens
$ sudo addgroup donald ducks
[sudo] password for boffi:
fatal: addgroup with two arguments is an unspecified operation.
$
as far as I can tell, this was the outcome of bug 664869,
where the OP claimed that the two arguments call was not
mentioned in the man page.
It is mentioned, at least in my man page.
Regards ፨ gb
