Bug#926947: d-i.debian.org: Setting the 'd-i network-console/password password' preseed variable doesn't change password of 'installer' user
Package: d-i.debian.org
Severity: important
Tags: d-i
I'm trying to install Debian 10 with preseed configuration. A password
of an 'installer' user was set like this:
d-i anna/choose_modules string network-console
d-i network-console/password password password
d-i network-console/password-again password password
This configuration worked well with the previous Debian releases,
however looks like the latest Debian Buster ignores the password from
configuration and leaves it as empty in /etc/shadow
The content of /etc/shadow :
installer::1:0:99999:7:::
Preseed configuration was taken from this source:
https://d-i.debian.org/manual/example-preseed.txt
