Bug#597241: libpam-mklocaluser: report error to stdout if /usr/sbin/nscd is missing

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

Package: libpam-mklocaluser
Version: 0.5
Severity: important
Tags: patch

The code in the python module to call /usr/sbin/nscd to flush the nscd
passwd cache is executed also when the program is missing.  This
causes a error message during first time login, which confuses and
worries users.  This patch get rid of it.
