[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#300316: passwd: 4.0.3-30.10 Segmentation fault

[Jari Aalto]

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.0.3-31sarge1
Severity: serious


During upgrade, the package gives segmentation fault.
(since apt-get dist-upgrade gave error, I tried directly)

/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i passwd_1%3a4.0.3-30.10_i386.deb
