This is an error message which clearly happens during the adduser call in exim4-config.postinst. shadow maintainers, would you be willing to make the case of "no shadow passwords in use, chage will fail" easily detectable from inside adduser? Or am I better off by jumping through hoops in adduser to find out whether shadow passwords are in use?
