Subject: passwd: userdel corrupts /etc/group file when removing username with
 backslash
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.13+dfsg1-5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

This happens when a username ending with backslash which belongs to a
group is being deleted.

Steps to reproduce:
$ useradd 'vijai\'
$ usermod -aG sudo 'vijai\'
$ userdel 'vijai\'

Current behaviour:
The username is not properly removed. Also the previous line is appended
to the current line.
$ cat /etc/group |grep sudo
sudo:x:27:vijaiaudio:x:29:

Expected Behaviour:
user should be removed without any issues.
$ cat /etc/group |grep sudo
sudo:x:27:
