buildd.emdebian.org: busybox chpasswd broken in crossbuilt package



Package: general
Severity: important
User: codehelp@debian.org
Usertags: buildd.emdebian.org

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.
