Bug#487691: user-setup: endless loop after entering empty root passwords



Package: user-setup
Version: 1.20
Severity: minor

The following sequence (at medium priority) will result in an apparent 
loop:
1 Allow root -> yes
2 Root password -> empty
3 Confirm passwd -> empty
4 Error dialog -> continue
5 Back to 1: Allow root -> go back

This should result in the menu being displayed, but does result in a loop:
4 Error dialog -> continue
5 Back to 1: Allow root -> go back

It's possible to break out of the loop by using go back instead of 
continue, but that's not obvious.

This may well be a cdebconf error instead of an error in user-setup. 
Possibly the queue is not cleared correctly/completely.
A cdebconf trace is probably needed here.
