Package: passwd

Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
I have some problems with usermod. The options -a returns the help screen,
while it should append to the groups the user is belongs to. All other options
work fine.
I don't know how long this problem exists, because I also use a different route
to change group membership. Since this is the prefered way, it is important it
is resolved. Usually I change groupmembership by manually changing /etc/group
and /etc/gshadow and this works as expected. By the way I have tested the
recommend approach on a fresh system with the same result, so this can not be
the problem.
I don't know where this problem is introduced, if it is upstream or in Debian's
sources.
I do know that it is architecture and locale independent, because besides the
system I run reportbug on, I also have systems with x86 and armhf, and it does
work on neither of them. Same for the locale.
I have tried to install passwd from unstable (and uninstalled it now), but
there was the same problem, although this is not entirely reliable because I
did not upgrade the entire system.
Also I have compiled it from (non Debian specific) source, which gave the same
result.
Sincerely,
phamming
