Message #5 received at submit@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.1.0-2
Severity: normal
I could not add/remove a user to/from a group:
# LANG=C deluser chenz video
Removing user `chenz' from group `video' ...
gpasswd: can't open shadow file
/usr/sbin/deluser: `/usr/bin/gpasswd -M video' returned error code 1. Exiting
gpasswd quit because it failed to open "/etc/gshadow".
It worked after I turned shadow on ("shadowconfig on").

* debian/watch: Add a watch file for shadow.
* debian/rules, debian/recode_manpages.sh: Do not recode the manpages.
Keep them in UTF-8.
* debian/rules, debian/control: login (>= 970502-1) was already provided
by login in Hamm. libpam-modules (>= 0.72-5) was already provided by
libpam-modules in Potato. libpam-runtime (>= 0.76-14) was already provided
by libpam-runtime in Sarge (now oldstable). Simplify the dependencies.
* debian/control: Move the dependency on libpam-modules from Depends to
Pre-Depends. The login package is Essential, and without libpam-modules,
login or su are not functional. Thanks to Steve Langasek for pointing this
out.
* debian/control: There's no need for a dependency on login (now that it is
unversionned; see above) in the passwd package.
* debian/control: The passwd's Replaces on manpages-de can be versionned
again. The su(1) manpage was removed from manpages-de.
* debian/securetty.linux: Added ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, ttyUSB2, and MPC5200
serial ports (ttyPSC0, ttyPSC1, ttyPSC2, ttyPSC3, ttyPSC4, ttyPSC5).
Closes: #461374
* debian/control: Change XS-X-Vcs-Svn to Vcs-Svn. Update the link to the
new repository layout. Add a Vcs-Browser field.
* debian/control: Added Homepage field.
* debian/passwd.postrm: Removed (was empty).
