[Bug 1595076] Re: ubuntu 16 pwck error

[Brian Murray]

The man page for pwck indicates that the message you are seeing is a
warning and not an error.

"All other errors are warning and the user is encouraged to run the
usermod command to correct the error."

If you run pwck with --quiet pwck will only report errors and not
warnings and you will no longer see the message about
'/run/systemd/resolve'.

Title:
  ubuntu 16 pwck  error

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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.
