I opted for the "quickfix" approach, as it has the merits of minimizing the changes to the "normal" codepaths, thus reducing the risks of regressions for non-core users. While the extrausers case is not as correct as it would have been with a full fix, it's consistent with the behaviour in 22.04 and thus should remain compatible with all existing code.
I also apparently fumbled my LP: #XXXXXXX stanza in the oracular changelog so I'll have to update the bug state manually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2063200 Title: useradd --extrausers --groups tries to lock /etc/group To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shadow/+bug/2063200/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
