chpasswd needs to be able to set a default root password in batch mode
and this works in Debian but the cross-built package is failing -
returning an exit value of 1.

This prevents the root password being set automatically.

Could be a problem with the existing configuration of other packages or
it may be a problem in the busybox config.

Workaround is to mount the rootfilesystem on a compatible device, chroot
into it and run passwd manually, providing the password interactively.

Current busybox (neither of the 3 flavours - regular package, busybox-static
and busybox-udeb) does not include chpasswd applet anymore.

I also looked at the (current, as of 1:1.17.1-8) code - it looks correct
now.  I rebuilt the package (enabling chpass applet) - it appears to work
as expected, at least on i386.

So closing this bug now.  The lack of chpass applet may warrant another
bugreport.

Thanks!
