[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#352494: passwd: confusing error message if /proc is not found

[Nicolas François]

Hello,

After #351631, shadow was compiled with SELinux support.

This unfortunately broke some shadow utilities (passwd, chfn, chage,
chsh) when /proc is not mounted (#352494).
This is caused by selinux_check_passwd_access(), which returns -1 when
/proc is not mounted.

Nobody in the shadow maintainance team has an SELinux system to test a
patch nor the knowlegde to write one.
Could anybody have a look at this bug?

Thanks in advance,
