Certainly because shadow-utils have been not set to default to SHA512

Thierry ?

I confirm.  This appears to be something left over from install, because if you remove /etc/shadow.lock, it then works fine and the error does not reoccur.

lib64user1-0.62-4.mga6.x86_64.

test is:

Install Virtualbox

Invoke Mageia Control Centre.
Choose "system", Manage users on system.
choose user and "edit (selected row)."

Add "vboxusers."

Error popup ocurs, but "vboxuser" is added.
