[Bug 372025] [NEW] checkpassword apparently broken in Jaunty

[arboc]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: fgetty

I am attempting to use runit in place of upstart to manage tty1 through
tty6, due to runit's better handling of utmp (upstart leaves stale utmp
entries after one logs out, confusing "finger", "last", etc. - see bug #
183729). Using runit worked fine in Hardy and Intrepid, but in Jaunty
trying to login at one of the ttys fails with "checkpassword: wrong
password". Upstart uses getty, while runit uses fgetty. Apparently,
something broke in the fgetty package between Hardy and Jaunty, causing
failure of the password check.

(Note that I did not install runit-run, only runit, which is enough to
fix the problem in utmp, without actually abandoning the /sbin/init
scheme).
