Package: adduser
Version: 3.113+nmu3
Severity: normal
In the adduser/addgroup perl script, some addgroup warnings don't
show the process name, and this makes the message appear to come from
something else in scripts (like when installing gdm3). I suppose that
the warnf subroutine should be used (like some other warnings), with
the additional difference that the warning messages will be sent to
stderr instead of stdout (but I suppose that stderr is better).
Here's the affected code:
if (defined($special_home) && $verbose) {
printf gtx("Warning: The home dir %s you specified already
exists.\n"),$special_home
if (!defined($no_create_home) && -d $special_home);
printf gtx("Warning: The home dir %s you specified can't be accessed:
%s\n"), $special_home, $!
if (defined($no_create_home) && ! -d $special_home);
}
Compare to:
warnf gtx("Warning: The home directory `%s' does not belong to the
user you are currently creating.\n"), $home_dir;
