>Description:
After upgrading to nullmailer 1.03_1,1 from nullmailer 1.03_1 the entry in the master.passwd file for the nullmail user has /var/spool/nullmailer replaced with %%LOCALSTATEDIR%%/nullmailer.  The issue occurs on any of our amd64 or i386 machines.  This issue does not appear to affect the operation of nullmailer.

master.passwd

< nullmail:(password):522:522::0:0:Nullmailer Mail System:/var/spool/nullmailer:/bin/sh
---
nullmail:(password):522:522::0:0:Nullmailer Mail System:%%LOCALSTATEDIR%%/nullmailer:/bin/sh
