[Impact] On ubuntu-core systems we want to be able to manage "extrausers" in the same way as regular users. This requires updates to the various {user,group}{add,del} tools. Right now "groupdel" cannot handle extrausers. This is an important feature for Ubuntu Core [Test Case] 0. upgrade the "passwd" to the version in {xenial,bionic}-proposed 1. install the libnss-extrausers and add "extrauers" to the passwd and shadow line (see /usr/share/doc/libnss-extrausers/README for the modifications in sswitch.conf) 2. run "groupadd --extrausers foo" and verify "grep foo /var/lib/extrausers/group" 3 check /var/lib/extrausers/group for the new "foo" group 4. run "groupdel --extrausers foo" 5. check /var/lib/extrausers/group and ensure the "foo" group is removed [Regression Potential] * low: this adds a new (optional) option which is off by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1840375/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
