Check /etc/group for a games group. It should be there ( games:*:13: on
my 4.1 system).
Maybe you deleted it by accident? Be sure to run 'mergemaster' as part
of the upgrading process, this will compare all files in /etc, show you
the differences and let you choose what to do (install new/delete new or
merge old and new for each file).
