Package: plymouth
Severity: important
thanks

I've decided to file this severity important rather then grave, since
this didn't happen on my other unstable machine.

Hello, maintainer,

When booting with plymouth, it hangs with a message similar to:

    getpwid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)

There is a similar bug filed against the Ubuntu package, but the patch
used to resolve the issue won't apply anymore.

If I disable splash, or switch to textular bootup, I boot fine.
When I enable it, or let the splash take over boot, I get that error.

 I've got the following plymouth packages installed:

 - plymouth
 - plymouth-drm
 - plymouth-themes-all

at version 0.8.6.1-1.

This happens with both sysvinit and systemd.

Please see LP: #649917[1] for more context in Ubuntu's situation.

Thanks addressing this,
  Paul
