Package: adduser Version: 3.112+nmu2 The command deluser --remove-home <user> does not delete named pipes, and as a result the whole home directory will not be deleted (compare bug #545024).
This is true for the version in stable and also for 3.113+nmu3 from testing. Here is a transcript showing the problem: root@debian:~# adduser --disabled-password --gecos '' test Adding user `test' ... Adding new group `test' (1001) ... Adding new user `test' (1001) with group `test' ... Creating home directory `/home/test' ... Copying files from `/etc/skel' ... root@debian:~# su -l -c 'mkfifo p' test root@debian:~# deluser --remove-home test Looking for files to backup/remove ... Removing files ... Removing user `test' ... Warning: group `test' has no more members. Done. root@debian:~# ls /home/test # should no longer exist p (I create the named pipe as that user for a more plausible example, but it doesn't matter.)
