shadow.service: failed

pack: user 'locate', 'kdm', 'lightdm', directories do not exist.

/var/lib/{mlocate, kdm, lightdm}

A journal would help... Please.

[LionNatsu]

@MingcongBai It was almost the same as what I said

[MingcongBai]

Oh I remember now. I thought I have told you about these, the way to fix this is to remove those directories, as they were mistakenly packaged into one of the older KDE tarballs - which you happened to be using.

[LionNatsu]

@MingcongBai Thanks, I will remove them from my computer in the morning. (Please keep issue be pending)

[LionNatsu]

Looks good (for weeks).

I found this in stub.

[LionNatsu]

Has new stub been fixed?

[MingcongBai]

I would believe so, but I will mark this issue as longterm, as there are certainly other packages with this issue.

[MingcongBai]

Still an issue.

Addressed with #2882. Closing.
