Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 23-beta by Fedora user pbrobinson using the blocker tracking app because: I don't believe (but might well be wrong here) this is a blocker but as it affects anaconda and makes debuging of installs hard I'm requesting a exception to ensure it's suitably tracked
Posted a patch to fix the libuser behavior by not using libuser anymore, but it needs a fix in useradd in order to work right.
Discussed at 2015-08-24 freeze exception review meeting: http://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-08-24/f23-blocker-review.2015-08-24-16.03.log.txt . Accepted as a Beta freeze exception issue: this makes installation debugging somewhat harder and cannot be fixed with an update.
Proposed as a Blocker for 23-final by Fedora user sbueno using the blocker tracking app because: If sshd does not start, it is not possible to perform an interactive installation on s390x. I know that s390x is not a primary arch, hence the 23-final milestone.
Discussed at 2015-08-31 blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-08-31/f23-blocker-review.2015-08-31-16.01.log.txt . For primary arches this is an inconvenience not a showstopper, and secondary arch issues cannot be release blocking by policy, so this is rejected as a release blocker. Note that doesn't mean it won't be fixed, just that we won't delay primary arch releases to fix it.
