Package: passwd Version: 4.0.14-6 During new installations of unstable on s/390 and hppa, I noticed this error in the syslog of the installer. This issue could maybe be related to http://bugs.debian.org/352037.
The relevant part of the log follows (perl warnings can probably be ignored;
these occur more often during installs).
