[solved] shadow.service load fail Verify integrity password&group file

My system Arch with KDE 5 boot OK but in log I have: "shadow.service loaded failed failed Verify integrity of password and group files"

I make upgrade KDE 4 to next 5. I now not have installed package kdebase-workspace with KDM.

KDE start with edit boot file ~/.xinitrc - in Pantheon desktop environment https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pantheon

#!/bin/sh

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

  UNIT           LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
● shadow.service loaded failed failed Verify integrity of password and group files

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

1 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

Re: [solved] shadow.service load fail Verify integrity password&group file

I help me this information https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193624

Remove line with "kdm" in file:  /etc/passwd and reboot and OK is now:

[root@arch-linux ~]# systemctl --failed

0 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

I make also backup:  cp  /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.backup
