Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.13+dfsg1-3
Followup-For: Bug #1004472
X-Debbugs-Cc: miha.p...@canonical.com

Confirming that the issue still exists in unstable.

When trying to use the command as root, the user is prompted for root's 
password,
which doesn't seem to be the correct behavior.

The reason seems to be a missing PAM file for groupmems:
https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/blob/master/etc/pam.d/groupmems

See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shadow/+bug/2039541

Best regards,
Miha
