I'm having trouble installing mpd.  I installed all the packages that mpd
requires.  When I try to install mpd, I get:

/media/mmc1 # dpkg -i mpd_0.13.0-1_armel.deb
Selecting previously deselected package mpd.
(Reading database ... 15122 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking mpd (from mpd_0.13.0-1_armel.deb) ...
Setting up mpd (0.13.0-1) ...
chage: can't open shadow password fileStopped: `/usr/bin/chage -M 99999 mpd'
returned error code 1. Exiting.

Removing user `mpd' ...
dpkg: error processing mpd (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mpd


I tried shadowconfig on, but then I get "bash: not found".  Installing bash
would change everything.

I tried creating the mpd user by running adduser manually, but then I get
segmentation fault whenever I run mpd.

Hints?
