Package: passwd Version: 1:4.2-3 Hi, I observed a strange behaviour when pwconv should delete several lines from /etc/shadow.
Here is how to reproduce it: Starting from a standard installation, add some users, for example: root@debian:~# for i in $(seq 10); do adduser --no-create-home --disabled-password --gecos '' test$i; done As expected, they appear in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. Now delete them from /etc/passwd, e.g using vipw. They are still in /etc/shadow, pwconv should be able to fix that. However, every other entry will be kept: root@debian:~# pwconv root@debian:~# grep test /etc/shadow test2:*:16724:0:99999:7::: test4:*:16724:0:99999:7::: test6:*:16724:0:99999:7::: test8:*:16724:0:99999:7::: test10:*:16724:0:99999:7::: Even more strange, after a second pwconv only test8 remains. The same thing happens with grpconv. All the best, Christian Sievers
