Whenever I install anything, the following happens:

Preconfiguring packages ...
Selecting previously deselected package logjam.
(Reading database ... 74177 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking logjam (from .../logjam_4.4.1-2_i386.deb) ...
Setting up fetchmail (6.2.5-13ubuntu3.1) ...
chown: `fetchmail:nogroup': invalid group
dpkg: error processing fetchmail (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up logjam (4.4.1-2) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:
fetchmail
dpkg run finished!

It seems similar to the problem here:

Which has a bugzilla entry here:

http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13044

Is the bugzilla answer the answer for me? And if so, how might someone who doesn't know about init scripts go about fixing it? It's annoying and stalls the computer.

I have Kubuntu Breezy updated from the extended repositories. This problem seems to have been happening since the beginning of my recent fresh installation.
