<title>Installation of Shadow</title>
<para>Shadow hard-wires the path to the <command>passwd</command> binary within
the binary itself, but does this the wrong way. If a <command>passwd</command>
binary is not present before installing Shadow, the package incorrectly assumes
it is going to be located at <filename>/bin/passwd</filename>, but then
installs it as <filename>/usr/bin/passwd</filename>. This will lead to errors
about not finding <filename>/bin/passwd</filename>. To work around this bug,
create a dummy <filename>passwd</filename> file, so that it gets hard-wired
properly:</para>
