[arch-general] git update groupadd failure: Invalid configuration: SYS_GID_MIN (101), GID_MIN (100), SYS_GID_MAX (99)

[David C. Rankin]

All,

  pacman -Syu this morning and groupadd failed while installing git with the
following message:

( 28/115) upgrading git
[###########################] 100%
groupadd: Invalid configuration: SYS_GID_MIN (101), GID_MIN (100), SYS_GID_MAX (99)
useradd: group 'git' does not exist
error: command failed to execute correctly

  It appears to see a min of 100 and a max of 99. That doesn't appear to ever work.
