android-tools-adb udev script uses unknow group

[Marian]

The script /lib/udev/rules.d/51-android-rules.rules installed by this package referes to the unknown group adbusers

The package is missing either a "postinst" script that would create the group or a dependency of a package that creates it.

[Marian (mnion)]

To circumvent the problem one should create by hand the group:

groupadd -r adbusers

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-tools/+bug/1051938 is a side effect of this bug. Solving this would solve the other bug too. I used a workaround by replacing GROUP="adbusers" with an already existing GROUP="plugdev" and solved https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-tools/+bug/1051938. I'd prefer adding adbusers group,but in case of any technical difficulty in doing so,this can be used as a workaround.

However,this bug seems to be already fixed as per the 70-android-tools-adb.rule in Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr's development version of android-tools-adb package http://launchpadlibrarian.net/152349346/android-tools-adb_4.2.2%2Bgit20130218-3ubuntu16_amd64.deb.

android-tools-adb package in 𝐔𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐮 𝟏𝟒.𝟎𝟒𝐋𝐓𝐒 and newer Ubuntu releases uses a structurally different /lib/udev/rules.d/70-android-tools-adb.rules file with no reference to "adbusers","plugdev" or any other group. See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-tools . adb now works 'out of box' for most devices without needing to start it as root and solves bug #1051938

The file /lib/udev/rules.d/51-android-rules.rules affected by this bug was from android-tools package in an older EOL'd Ubuntu release. So, this bug is solved in all currently supported releases of Ubuntu. I'm closing this bug as "Fix Released"
