[Bug 575040] [NEW] tftpd-hpa.postinst keeps hanging with a Password: prompt

[Gürkan Sengün]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tftp-hpa

# aptitude install tftpd-hpa
Setting up tftpd-hpa (5.0-11ubuntu2) ...
Password: 

The problem is one that also Debian has when you get /etc/passwd and
/etc/shadow via NIS, chfn from the passwd package fails. It tries this
command:

adduser: `/usr/bin/chfn -f tftp daemon tftp' exited from signal 2.
Exiting.

which just doesn't work.
