This came in to the bugs.opensolaris.org triage queue (we should probably
get that page updated to refer users to defect.opensolaris.org instead) -
since it said "package manager" I assumed it was the GUI and reassigned to
JDS, but in either case someone who would be working on it probably needs
to copy out to bugzilla and close in bugtraq.

=== *Description* ============================================================
Category

Sub-Category
pkg_commands
Description
nsswitch.conf has
passwd: compat
/etc/passwd ends with
+user::::::
+::::::/bin/false
When using packagemanager to install openoffice (but probably any software), the
process stops after downloading, and at the "installing software" stage. The
python error is:
Action install failed for 'etc' (pkg:/openoffice):
ValueError: invalid literal for int():
Removing the two "plus" entries from /etc/passwd allows the process to complete.
Frequency
Always
Regression
No
Steps to Reproduce
On an OpenSolaris os200805 system, change nsswitch.conf to use
passwd: compat
Add
+user::::::
+::::::/bin/false
to /etc/passwd. Run packagemanager as root. Select `Office', then
`openoffice'. Click Install/Update.
Expected Result
OpenOffice installs
Actual Result
Process stops at "Installing Software". Terminal shows stack trace shown in
Description. Windows must be closed.
Error Message(s)
Action install failed for 'etc' (pkg:/openoffice):

Test Case
Workaround
Remove `+' entries from /etc/passwd, perform installation, and restore
/etc/passwd.

No
Additional configuration information
This is OpenSolaris os200805, passwd set to compat in /etc/nsswitch.conf, and
a `+' style entry with empty fields in /etc/passwd.

Priority changed from [] to [3-Medium]
Use of compat limited, but changing passwd to install software could be very bad
