Title:
  tftpd-hpa.postinst keeps hanging with a Password: prompt

Status in “shadow” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “tftp-hpa” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: tftp-hpa

  # aptitude install tftpd-hpa
  Setting up tftpd-hpa (5.0-11ubuntu2) ...
  Password: 

  The problem is one that also Debian has when you get /etc/passwd and
  /etc/shadow via NIS, chfn from the passwd package fails. It tries this
  command:

  adduser: `/usr/bin/chfn -f tftp daemon tftp' exited from signal 2.
  Exiting.

  which just doesn't work.
