* When editing files like /etc/login.defs re-use the separator text that
was taken from the file, rather than replacing it with something
Hi,
Here's a patch that I think makes sense for this.
It re-uses the separator that was parsed out of the line
when reconstructing it, rather than analysing the regex
used to split to get something equivalent.
I'm not really sure why it is re-writing these values when
they are unchanged, or at

I think it'd be OK to put the whitespace back the way it was in the

Looks like we've seen this before - bug 18570. It's also been reported
as debian bug 385170 (see the diff attached to message #16 in that bug
report).
In 18570, Martin Pitt comments, I have the impression that gnome-

I have duplicated your package list as best I can, and repeated the

going to leave this incomplete until someone can find more details.

I've tried repeated upgrade in various configurations, and still cannot
reproduce this bug. Steve and James, can you attach the output of dpkg

I haven't seen this problem myself. Can anyone reproduce this on a

have any extra packages installed related to user management that might
have edited this file without asking?

This happened to me on an Intrepid -- Jaunty Alpha4 upgrade. The diff
of login.defs was the same (whitespace change for UID_MIN/UID_MAX, along
with a number of comments added to the file for Jaunty).
I am 100% sure that I never modified login.defs by hand for any reason.

If you could provide the old /etc/login.defs, that could help others checking
if you made any changes.
If you know the previous version of login you were using, it would be even
better.
Depending on what you did, the old configuration file might still be on
