pwck shows error messages

user 'avahi': no group 84
user 'polkitd': no group 102
user 'gdm': no group 120
user 'colord': no group 124
user 'rtkit': no group 133
user 'systemd-journal-remote': no group 998
user 'systemd-journal-upload': no group 999
pwck: no changes

It seems that I broke the group system
I tried reinstalling avahi polkit gdm colord rtkit systemd but only two of the error entries, polkitd and gdm, has disappeared
I do have group names of systemd-journal-remote and systemd-journal-upload but their gid's are 997 and 996 each.
How do I fix this?

EDIT : comparing ls -ln and ls -l on /var/log/journal, it turns out that "systemd-journal-remote" group on /var/log/journal/remote has gid of 997

Re: pwck shows error messages

Bumping up. Can I just fix this by adding these groups with groupadd and fix gid's of systemd-journal-* users on passwd file?
