I changed the lines in the current unstable version and I seems to work
without problems:
,----
| Enter new UNIX password: 
| Retype new UNIX password: 
| Sorry, passwords do not match
| passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered
| passwd: password unchanged
| Try again? [Y/n] y
| Enter new UNIX password: 
| Retype new UNIX password: 
| passwd: password updated successfully
`----
