Hello,
the descrypt method is not considered strong and some distributions
(like NixOS) start compiling libxcrypt without it [1]. Therefore, the
test suite fails on NixOS.
I'm attaching a patch that fixes the problem on NixOS.
Best regards,

Subject: [PATCH] Don't use descrypt password in the test suite
The descrypt method is not considered strong and some
distributions (like NixOS) start compiling libxcrypt without it [1].
To start using different hash methods, it is not sufficient to replace
the password hash in testsuite/etc/passwd.in, because differently
hashed passwords contain '$' characters (e.g.
$y$j9T$lP8UWS9GZ4zfeTVDpmtbr1$dVozXOvWQXLQyhWGX7YyW8TIQTg8EfQLUzYPp3WCWo9)
and the test suite replaces '$'-starting strings with values of the
corresponding variables. Since I've not found a way to escape dollars
for TCL's subst function, we do not hardcode the passwd hash directly
to the file, bug generate it dynamically as replace it in the file via
a variable.
