Subject: Bug#3744: passwd_1.0-5 has no source

From: [email-masked] (joost witteveen)

Package: passwd
Version: 1.0-5

On master:
  $ pwd
  /home/ftp/debian/buzz/binary
  $ dir */pass*
  base/passwd-1.0-5.deb
  $ cd ../source
  $ pwd 
  /home/ftp/debian/buzz/source
  $ dir */pass*
  dir: */pass*: No such file or directory

i.e. in buzz I cannot find the source to
passwd. This may be a (very?) serious mistake, but maybe the
passwd source is included in some other package?

(The source really is nower to be found, not in buzz, buzz-fixes,
buzz-updates, unstable, incomming).

Thanks,

Use Debian/GNU Linux!

If you look at the Source field of the package, you'll see the source
is in loginutils.  passwd shares code with login and getty.

Closing the bug.
