A member of our Discord server mentioned this error was showing up during Nginx installation along with a similar one for MySQL package
chown: invalid group: 'mysql:adm' error on RackNerd
Interestingly this error has been popping up the last few months:

Even on WordOps too:

Nobody mentions the cloud providers, but I’m guessing there might be a few specific providers where this error is happening.
I’m fairly certain this is caused by certain cloud providers like RackNerd having poorly configured Ubuntu images/etc during provisioning. The adm
group is special for Ubuntu and the root
user should already be in that group afaik.
So pretty much I think you need to ask your provider to fix their ISO
hmmmm….
the question is does this happen anywhere else besides RackNerd
Racknerd had some other ISO problems too. Just not very good ISOs they need to be improved. Before they didn’t even install rsync
by default which is strange
