Same thing, but more details to help you reproduce the problem. This is on Mandrake 8.2 . Upgrading openssh wants to create a 'sshd' user (see changelog). Upgrading setup after that triggers the problem. [root@h rpms]# update-passwd -v Reading passwd from /usr/share/base-passwd/passwd.master Reading group from /usr/share/base-passwd/group.master Reading passwd from /etc/passwd Reading shadow from /etc/shadow Reading group from /etc/group Removing user "sshd" (94) Erreur de segmentation (core dumped) Re-running the program yields the same output. An affected system will fail to install properly all packages which are dependant on update-passwd. This is serious. Notice that the update-passwd binary is itself in the setup package. -- Stéphane Gourichon - Labo. d'Informatique de Paris 6 - AnimatLab http://animatlab.lip6.fr/ - philo du dimanche http://amphi-gouri.org/
