[Launchpad Bug Tracker <445301@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

when adding a user with an encrypted home directory passing the group ID
from the CLI, the utility fail to set the permissions to the .ecryptfs
and .Private directory.

Here is an example:

adduser --uid 1030 --gid 115 --encrypt-home lmondesi
...
chown: invalid group: `lmondesi:lmondesi'
chown: invalid group: `lmondesi:lmondesi'
chown: invalid group: `lmondesi:lmondesi'
chown: invalid group: `lmondesi:lmondesi'
chown: invalid group: `lmondesi:lmondesi'

This causes the permissions for the
/home/.ecryptfs/lmondesi/.{ecryptfs,Private} which obviously prevents it
from being mounted

lmondesi@zod:/home/.ecryptfs/lmondesi$ ls -la
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2009-10-07 05:30 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-10-07 05:30 ..
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2009-10-07 05:30 .ecryptfs
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2009-10-07 05:30 .Private
