Latest "filesystem" package changes bring new errors.

Hi. Don't know where this belongs, so I just post it here.

In my freshly installed system group 'users' has this gid:

users:x:997:

But /etc/default/useradd has this content:

 # useradd defaults file for ArchLinux
# original changes by TomK
GROUP=100
HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1
EXPIRE=
SHELL=/bin/bash
SKEL=/etc/skel

So, when I do useradd on clean system, I get this :

useradd: group '100' does not exist
useradd: the GROUP= configuration in /etc/default/useradd will be ignored

And these errors in the process of installing packages :

[2017-12-11 23:31] [ALPM] installed nvidia-utils (387.34-1)
[2017-12-11 23:31] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] useradd: group '100' does not exist
[2017-12-11 23:31] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] useradd: the GROUP= configuration in /etc/default/useradd will be ignored
[2017-12-11 23:31] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] If you run into trouble with CUDA not being available, run nvidia-modprobe first.

[2017-12-11 23:32] [ALPM] installed polkit (0.113+29+g3272a98-1)
[2017-12-11 23:32] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] useradd: group '100' does not exist
[2017-12-11 23:32] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] useradd: the GROUP= configuration in /etc/default/useradd will be ignored
[2017-12-11 23:32] [ALPM] installed colord (1.4.1-1)
[2017-12-11 23:32] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] useradd: group '100' does not exist
[2017-12-11 23:32] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] useradd: the GROUP= configuration in /etc/default/useradd will be ignored
[2017-12-11 23:32] [ALPM] installed libproxy (0.4.15-6)

So, why GID for 'users' changed and what to do?

Re: Latest "filesystem" package changes bring new errors.

Wow, that was fast. Thanks. Missed that bugreport.

EDIT:
OK, so the fix has already been pushed to repos, I just updated from some recently synced mirror.
Thanks again.
