Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: adduser

I cannot set a password for a newly created user using adduser.

Step to produce is to type adduser test. Then I get:

Adding user `test' ...
Adding new group `test' (1001) ...
Adding new user `test' (1001) with group `test' ...
Creating home directory `/home/test' ...
Copying files from `/etc/skel' ...
passwd: System error
passwd: password unchanged
Try again? [y/N]
