[SOLVED] pwck - duplicate password entry: dbus - is it ok to delete?

I looked at the output of journalctl today and I noticed the following:

May 30 00:00:28 * pwck[20158]: duplicate password entry
May 30 00:00:28 * pwck[20158]: delete line 'dbus:x:81:81:dbus:/:/sbin/nologin'? No
May 30 00:00:28 * pwck[20158]: duplicate password entry
May 30 00:00:28 * pwck[20158]: delete line 'dbus:x:81:81:System message bus:/:/bin/false'? No
May 30 00:00:28 * pwck[20158]: duplicate shadow password entry
May 30 00:00:28 * pwck[20158]: delete line 'dbus:x:14871::::::'? No
May 30 00:00:28 * pwck[20158]: duplicate shadow password entry
May 30 00:00:28 * pwck[20158]: delete line 'dbus:!:15647:0:99999:7:::'? No

What should I do with these?

There may be an error in the files you merged:

# pwck
# grep dbus /etc/passwd
dbus:x:81:81:dbus:/:/sbin/nologin
# grep dbus /etc/shadow
dbus:x:14871::::::

Have you carefully checked /etc/passwd?

Thank you loafer for pointing out the right one. I just deleted those extra ones.
