Subject: apt: Set gid to nogroup
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=31eb31c59873783a4282602391fab85b16e33e0d;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core-contrib.git

apt: Set gid to nogroup

Without --no-user-group, it tries to assign "_apt" gid which ends up
with an error as shown below when using static gid values and "_apt" is
not defined in USERADD_GID_TABLES.

| apt was skipped: Recipe apt, package apt: normal groupname "_apt" does not have a static ID defined.

Conventionally "_apt" does not have its own gid but rather uses
"nogroup". For that reason '_apt' gid is also removed from
meta-selftest/files/static-group.
