checked the bug report and it seems issue is following

chown: invalid group: ‘papermc:papermc’

Which is strange as the primary group is always pre-created and defaults to same name as user for new users. Just tested on a demo system without issues.

Can you share following

tail -5 /etc/group
4 
frp:x:993:
postgres:x:122:
jellyfin:x:123:
postfix:x:119:
postdrop:x:120:

can you check following

getent group papermc

if it doesn’t return anything, create the group manually and rerun the installation

groupadd -r papermc
dietpi-sotware install 181
