Details

Description:
The xbmc-11.0-11 package was changed to add an xbmc group and xbmc user. However the creation of the xbmc user fails. This is the x86_64 xbmc, on a multilib install, using systemd.

Additional info:
Including terminal output illustrating the problem:
[family@mediacenter ~]$ sudo groupdel xbmc
groupdel: group 'xbmc' does not exist
[family@mediacenter ~]$ sudo pacman -S xbmc

useradd: group xbmc exists - if you want to add this user to that group, use -g.
usermod: user 'xbmc' does not exist
error: command failed to execute correctly
[family@mediacenter ~]$ sudo userdel xbmc
userdel: user 'xbmc' does not exist
[family@mediacenter ~]$ sudo groupdel xbmc
[family@mediacenter ~]$


Steps to reproduce:
I verify the xbmc group and user don't exist, install xbmc-11.0-11, get odd output saying the group exists, and that the user can't be created, followed by an error, then verify the group is created, but not the user.
