Details

I removed the BackupPC package as I was no longer using it. However, the backuppc user remained in the system. This made the shadow.service fail, as the home folder for the backuppc user was no longer present. I was able to fix the issue by executing 'userdel backuppc'. It seems however this should happen automatically.

shadow.service log:

jan 12 00:00:01 batou systemd[1]: Failed to start Verify integrity of password and group files.
jan 12 00:00:01 batou systemd[1]: shadow.service: Unit entered failed state.
jan 12 00:00:01 batou systemd[1]: shadow.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
jan 12 00:00:01 batou pwck[11136]: user 'backuppc': directory '/var/lib/backuppc' does not exist
jan 12 00:00:01 batou pwck[11136]: pwck: no changes
