bug#70278: udevd[87]: specified group 'sgx' unknown

[Ludovic Courtès]

Since the recent ‘gnome-team’ merge, we get this message at boot time:

  udevd[87]: specified group 'sgx' unknown

Should we add ‘sgx’ to ‘%base-groups’?  (What is it for?)

This seems related to Intel's Software Guard eXtensions, or, as we in
the free world like to call them Security paper Generator eXtensions. 
As far as I'm aware, these ought to be disabled anyway, and we might
want to drop the offending lines.  According to [1], there's only two
of them anyway.

Cheers

Sounds good.  (My intuition would have been to create the ‘sgx’ group to
placate udev, but removing those lines may be even better.)

Can you look into it?

Thanks,
