If it is any help my output from the same cat commands is:

which indeed suggests that your /etc/group for this uuidd line might have 68 instead of 997 - but of course your files may have other differences also. In addition I have /usr/bin/nologin in the passwd file though that should not matter.
Did you have any backup copies of the original files before making your merge changes? Retrieval of the backup copies would at least allow a comparison to be made before you made the merge.

Hello Just to note that I fixed this by reading about {g,u}id and some specific stuff for uuid daemon. I aligned the gid from uuidd from the /etc/passwd to the /etc/group after I searched for files and folders created from the uuidd daemon and returned none.
