[SOLVED] Arduino and shadow.service

Hi, I just got an Arduino and wanted to use it on my Arch system. Following the instructions on the wiki page, I added myself to groups uucp and lock.

Fast forward to today, I'm doing some maintenance running systemctl --failed and noticed shadow.service has failed. Some searching had me checking the status of the service and I have the following. I'm not sure where to move on from here.

● shadow.service - Verify integrity of password and group files
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/shadow.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2018-01-04 00:00:13 EST; 1h 53min ago

EDIT : I was cleaning up old packages and dependencies, rebooted and it's gone.
