Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (Core)
ubuntu-core  16.04.1 Rev 742 (edge)

In Ubuntu-Core, new users can only be added into the --extrausers
database; the default users databse is located in a read-only
filesystem.

The user management 'add' commands do support the --extrausers database,
but the 'del' and 'mod' commands do not.  This makes it possible to add
a user in Ubuntu-Core, but unable to perform any other user management
since the rest of the commands do not support --extrausers.

--extrausers supported: adduser, useradd, addgroup,

--extrausers not supported: usermod, deluser, passwd, delgroup, chage

Please enhance all user management commands to support --extrausers.

** Affects: libnss-extrausers (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
