On Debian jessie, systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service and systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service fail because /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/xpra.conf references the group xpra, which does not exist:

systemd-tmpfiles[842]: [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/xpra.conf:3] Unknown group 'xpra'.

I believe the package should create the group at install time.

r11696 should do what you want, please try the beta packages and close this ticket if that works for you.

Thanks, that does it.

However, a slightly cleaner way to check for group existence would be

if ! getent group $SERVER_GROUP >/dev/null; then

I've backported this change to v0.16.x in 11706 and will be included in 0.16.1

r11707 uses the syntax from comment:2 (trunk only).
