Package: bash Version: 2.05b-26 Severity: normal Tags: sarge sid Hi!
What I really wanted is reopening bug #265982 (titled "Please do not depend on passwd at all, bad in chroot etc.") The problem is claimed to be dealed with, but it seems to be mistreated a bit: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show bash Package: bash ...

I think his request was reasonable and anyway, as you have made calls to add-shell and remove-shell _conditional_, it would be good and logical to "recommend" passwd instead of depending on it. P.S. BTW, it's quite possible that those scripts will be moved from passwd to separate package or to an existing essential package like debianutils... -- WBR, xrgtn -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (501, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.4.29-grsec Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 3.1.2 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii passwd 1:4.0.3-31sarge1 change and administer password and -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
