Feel free to reassign back to lsb-core if it's lsb-core's postinst code that is concluded to be wrong (copied here for reference): > case "$1" in > configure) > if [ ! -e /etc/shadow ]; then > db_get lsb/shadowconfig > if [ "$RET" = "true" ]; then > shadowconfig on >&2 || true > fi > fi Cheers, OdyX
