If you are running unstable, do NOT upgrade the base-passwd package!!!
Version 3.2.2 has a critical bug which causes it to swap the UIDs and GIDs
for users in the /etc/passwd file.  (See bug reports #130032 and 130085.)

I found this out the hard way.  The simple fix if it's already happened to
you: copy the backup file "/etc/passwd.org" over top of the new file
"/etc/passwd".

Sincerely,
Kevin McCarty
