The passwd and login packages, recently resynced with upstream, now
provide a lot more localized manpages. As a consequence, the packages
conflict with your packages.

As a temporary workaround, we (shadow package maintainers) have added
a "Replaces" entry for all of your packages so that passwd and login
remain installable.

Please mention us, when closing these bugs, which version of your
packages fix the problem so that we later add a versioned Replaces
entry which will allow both packages to co-exist safely.
