I touched some empty files for this, too!
I think that such behavior shouldn't be a feature. If some essential file
is missing, the installation program should, at least, warn the
administrator. This happened when, for example, installing a new version
of login. My login.{defs,access} were rm'ed (a mistake) and the new
installed package didn't supply new copies of these files. This is bad!
Even after a installation, I stay with a broken system and nobody warn me.
Is this a case for a bug report?
