I'll fix that.

I guess you're seeing this:
skx_at_vain:/tmp$ sudo chroot /tmp/f /usr/bin/passwd root
Changing password for user root.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
To fix that run this first:
perl -pi.bak -e "s/^root:\*:/root:foo:/g" /tmp/f/etc/passwd
I'm not sure why that is necessary, or even why passwd matters compared
to shadow ..
