Why was this bug marked as invalid?
If a command gives a warning it shows that something is not properly 
implemented.
Either the warning is deprecated or the cause for the warning is reasonable and 
the issue should be fixed.
My understanding of proper programming is that every entry in /etc/passwd must 
have existing values.
So if there is a home dir specified in /etc/passwd I expect it to exist or to 
be created at boot time.
Ohterwise programs that may rely on the values in /etc/passwd may not work 
properly.

Title:
  ubuntu 16 pwck  error

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  running pwck after installing ubuntu 16 gives an error:
  pwck
  user 'systemd-resolve': directory '/run/systemd/resolve' does not exist

  I think that every home directory specified in /etc/passwd must exist.
  If systemd-resolve has a volatile home directory I expect this directory to 
be created at boot time.

  It seems that there is no regression test before release that makes
  sure that no such errors are reported.
