Package: otherr
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I update my "unstable" laptop OS every day; However I don't reboot
every day but probably 3x a week.
In the course of 10 days I've had the dreaded "Authentication token
manipulation error" twice. The first time I was able to recover both my
root & user passwords using by editing the init line in my grub-pc.
Today when I tried this trick; I am unable to change the root pwd; Only
the user pwd. At this point I haven't checked to see if I can apply
updates becuase of this (I use sudo for my aptitude updates) but will
surely check this out.
However this is a bug obviously and needs to be fixed. Unfortuantely
because I don't reboot after each 'aptitude update' I'm unable to narrow
down which day this might have occured. It did happen quite recently
though -- definitely in the past 2 weeks.
