retitle 271565 remove-shell fails when /etc/shells is missing, empty or is to be emptied
thanks

Hi!

First of all, remove-shell fails in other conditions
than stated in original report.
Nevertheless, the patch fixes the problem.

The bug results in inability to delete the last shell
from /etc/shells, for example.

P.S. Christian: I have committed the changes onto sid CVS.
