>Description:
pkgsrc/mk/defs.Linux.mk sets ROOT_GROUP to wheel (if not already set).

But most Linux distributions do not have a "wheel" group.
Most Linux distributions do have a "root" (usually gid 0) group.
>How-To-Repeat:
You may have problems when installing or the package is adding users when
ROOT_GROUP is not existent (wheel) group.
>Fix:
Please note that othersrc/bootstrap-pkgsrc/bootstrap defaults for Linux
to use "root" group for "root_group" (as of December 27).

Please fix pkgsrc/mk/defs.Linux.mk:

-ROOT_GROUP?=           wheel
+ROOT_GROUP?=           root
