[Solved] Error when upgrading shadow package

I've just done a new install of Arch, then upgraded. Everything installed alright except for the shadow package which came up with the below error.
I found one other user on the forum that also got the same error but there was no explanation/solution.

Fixing gshadow file ...                                                                                                                       
no matching group file entry in /etc/gshadow                                                                                                   
add group 'uucp' in /etc/gshadow ?grpck: the files have been updated                                                                           
error: scriptlet failed to execute correctly

Relevant bugs:

Edit: to fix it follow the instruction "add group 'uucp' in /etc/gshadow".  The error is really nothing to be concerned about.
