Details

The post-install script in util-linux 2.22-2 creates an "uuidd" user account with a nonexistent homedir "/home/uuidd". `pwck` complains about this.

(`pwck` is run daily by a cronjob belonging to the "shadow" package, so I get a complaint by email every midnight.)

The package should probably use "/" as the homedir, as other daemon accounts do.

You'll need to fix the home directory on your own.
