base-passwd (3.6.1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Colin Watson ]
* passwd.master: Add _apt user, in order to eventually allow dropping
adduser out of Essential-plus-apt (closes: #969631). Note that this
currently makes no attempt to migrate existing installations to the new
uid, since a number of things like TLS certificates and firewall rules
may depend on the existing uid.
* debian/postinst: Fix several shellcheck issues.
[ Christian Göttsche ]
* update-passwd.c:
- print filename on fclose error
- use correct filename in copy_filemodes
- drop t flag from fopen
- open temporary file exclusively
* replace obsolete autoconf macro

* Convert packaging to a modern debhelper style. The original reason for
avoiding helper tools in base-passwd was to ease bootstrapping; but
nowadays the sensible way to bootstrap is to cross-build, and all the

* In fact, remove the 'operator' user (not group) entirely from new

This incidentally means that group has to be updated before passwd,

* When using fget*ent_r(), we're supposed to reallocate larger and larger
chunks of memory until we find one in which each passwd/group/shadow
line fits, and there's an arbitrary limit on the length of lines because

are reordered if and only if they're in the master files. See #130735.

base-passwd (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Use a 8192 byte buffer for reading passwd and group entries. If
someone has a group with over 8kb of group members we will still
break (libc has no way to prevent that), but such a system will
be so rate I doubt we will even run into it.
