So, did I understand this correctly? User postgres already existed, but group postgres didn't? adduser will not create the group only in this case.

I could create the group separately, but usually this situation means that you have a half-broken installation already. If you use NIS authentication, then you should have both users and groups in nis, not just users. Will 'addgroup postgresql' create the group in NIS for you or just locally?
