Package: debian-reference
thanks

Hi Osamu,

Happy New Year for you.

An error in debian-reference came to my attention today.
As this is not a stylish proposal as my others, I kept this separate
from [email protected], because you might want to fix this before
Wheezy release.

Hi,

Here at my machine:
$ id -u -n
osamu
$ echo ~
/home/osamu
$ echo ~osamu
/home/osamu
$ echo ~osamu/
/home/osamu/

Namely:
  ~<user_name> is the home of the user with <user_name>
  ~            is the home of the current user

OK, then

Hmmm.. I see similar at 9348 of POT file.

I see no problem with my text.  

Did you create foo account?  What is "ted" doing here.
Is your Debian machine's user home policy in the default state?

For example, alioth.debian.org goes like:

$ echo ~
/srv/home/users/osamu
$ echo ~osamu
/srv/home/users/osamu
$ echo ~osamu/
/srv/home/users/osamu/

This is because alioth is configured so.  At this stage in tutorial section, I
think current example is perfectly fine.

See under /usr/share/doc/adduser/examples

Osamu
