you use group passwords?
then the file seems to be needed
kuser is in an early phase that can happen

well you figured out how to ship around the problem :)
but i don't think it's a bug
kuser start withou a problem if the file doesn't exist
i have no such a file either perhaps it's something for filesystem package

i pass it to judd

Normally I don´t use group passwords. But following the alsa-howto in the wiki I did
# gpasswd -a USERNAME sound

Maybe that is the reason for needing /etc/gshadow

If that is the reason that would happen to everybody following the howto.

My install was brandnew (same day) and I did not do anything else in groups before.

Okay, adding an /etc/gshadow file in the filesystem package for next build.
