Package: adduser
Version: 3.152
Severity: minor
The adduser(8) man page (LOGGING section) lists message priorities as:
crit, error, warning, info, debug, trace
The actual accepted values in Debian::AdduserLogging::numeric_msglevel()
are:
trace, debug, info, warn, err/error, fatal
Two mismatches:
- "warning" should be "warn" ("warning" causes die())
- "crit" should be "fatal" ("crit" causes die())
The config file comments in /etc/adduser.conf are correct. The man page
appears to use syslog priority names (from the logmsglevel() translation
map) rather than the config-facing names.
