[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#569518: passwd: pwck exits when y or yes is typed

[TGP1994]

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.1.1-6+lenny1
Severity: normal


I've been experiencing issues upgrading passwd, where shadowconfig on reports lots of errors and doesn't seem to fix them.
However, pwck seems like it should, but when I try to type y or yes when it asks if I want to add a user,
it just exits back to the prompt.
