[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#1038861: Bug#1038861: login updates login.defs, adds options that old groupmod doesn't understand

[pillule at riseup.net]

Hello,

I am upgrading my debian 11 to debian 12 and all my systems are affected
by this bug. The systems are fully upgraded and the bug is persistent.

$ apt info login
[...]
Version: 1:4.13+dfsg-1+b1
[...]

$ apt info passwd
[...]
Version: 1:4.13+dfsg1-1+b1
[...]

No only the upgrade process is affected, but most commands that read
/etc/login.defs : useradd, userdell, groupmems, ... etc.

As I am an user of QubesOS, I reported the bug first on :
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/8559

It should not matter as the relevant programs come from debian bookworm
stable.
