12.1-RELEASE -> 12.2-RELEASE pw: user 'anybody' disappeared during update

E

eldaemon

I can't create users after upgrading to 12.2-RELEASE.

pw user add bob

Gives me: pw: user 'bob' disappeared during update

"bob" is in /etc/passwd.

chown bob foo, and it says it's an invalid username.

I first discovered this with adduser which behaved identically.

I have a fresh 12.2-RELEASE install and it does not have this problem.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Edit: This is on two different systems. One I've had for a while, the other was brand new. Both Vultr VPSs.
