[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#1124793: shadow: New version breaks a lot of adduser tests

[Marc Haber]

Hi Chris,

feel free to file (copy, clone) bugs against adduser. I have expected 
that.

To minimize the fallout you might want to temporarily revert in unstable 
and make a src:shadow upload of the new version to experimental. I will 
probably not have time to take closer looks before the weekend.

Greetings
Marc
