Package: base-passwd
Version: 3.5.36
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Routine upgrade.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
apt-get dist-ugrade caused the change by upgrading base-passwd.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Updating base-passwd changes the entries in the password files,
without explicit administrator permission and not respecting changes
previously placed there by the administrator.
Setting up base-passwd (3.5.36) ...
Changing shell of news from /bin/sh to /usr/sbin/nologin
1 changes have been made, rewriting files
Writing passwd-file to /etc/passwd
Writing shadow-file to /etc/shadow
Writing group-file to /etc/group
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Since the shell entry for news is set deliberately by me, I expect
base-passwd to ASK whether it may change it.
