    I don't know where that is coming from as I don't think any of the
    mpd scripts calls chage. It does use adduser so that should be
    added to the dependency list.

    Creating the mpd user manually should let you run it. I would edit
    /etc/mpd.conf and uncomment the libao section. I was getting
    segfaults with alsa output while ao output worked fine.
