If you have problems with some software shipped with a distribution the
best choice is usually the support / bug tracking system of your
distribution.

In your case, the problem seems to be already reported as Gentoo
bug #107680 [1].



BTW, I am using gentoo and I also tried USE=old-crypt.
No way!

I needed to install the version 2.12i to recover
my information.

Is this related with util-linux or has something
to do with gentoo patches or something?

You are using features not present in the upstream util-linux but added by patches Gentoo applies.



*I am very sorry*.
At first I did not think this could be a problem of gentoo.
It just came up to my mind when I was writing this post.
That's why I added the lines refering 'gentoo'!
I should have looked at gentoo first ...
I'll be more carefull next time, if there is a next time :-(

Thank you anyway for your answer.

Paulo
