* update-passwd.8: Environment variables are 'set'.
[ Brian Murray ]
* update-passwd.c: Skip debconf question when changing irc's home
directory from /var/run/ircd to /run/ircd, since these are equivalent

Title:
asks about irc user home directory during upgrade
Status in base-passwd package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in base-passwd source package in Hirsute:
In Progress
Status in base-passwd package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Test Case]
1) On an Ubuntu 20.10 system edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file to have
hirsute instead of groovy
2) Run apt-get update
3) Execute 'sudo apt-get install base-passwd'
With the version of base-passwd you'll receive a prompt about moving
the 'irc' user's home directory from '/var/run/ircd' to '/run/ircd'.
[Original Description]
Upgrading from groovy to hirsuite, base-passwd asks if the `irc` user's home
directory should be moved from `/var/run/ircd` to `/run/ircd`. Having no IRC
server installed makes this very confusing, but appears harmless
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/876975/user-irc-inside-of-default-ubuntu-16-04-server).
Possibly caused by https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=946884,
but can this not prompt the user for a decision?
