I am no longer maintaining passwd, and it looks like this is a problem in the apt-get package depending on an old version anyway.

Subject: passwd_20030621-1_darwin-powerpc.deb

I'm not entirely certain if I'm sending this to the right place, but anyway...

I installed Gimp last night using apt-get on Panther.

The passwd_20030621-1_darwin-powerpc.deb package that apt-get downloads changed the postfix UID from 27 to 255. Postfix was not amused.

Changing the UID back in NetInfo made Postfix healthy again.

I notice as well that the "passwd_20031026-2_darwin-powerpc.deb" package that Fink itself downloads has the correct UID.

If I'm being an idiot and doing something stupid or sending this message to the wrong place, my apologies for bothering you.
