I have the following error when the system is 'setting-up' kismet..

The provided user list contains invalid usernames.The users to be added
to the kismet group have to be provided in a space-separated list of
usernames. It seems that the following usernames are not valid:
userOne. Please revise the list.

Moreover, any installation/removal process is now stuck at this where I can only enter 'ok' but then I am back at the error message.

if I try for example 'sudo apt autoremove', I get "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem" --> which then generates the above issue over and over.
How do I solve this? I thought I could find a list with users but it is not the case, I don't know where it is taking this userOne username.
