(Marc pinged me on IRC about this bug report in adduser) First of all, I think that adduser should probably make better use of the locales information for this Yes/No answer.
I don't have the required skills to lead you to the solution, Marc, but I think that Denis Barbier could. Yes/No handling is coded in locales files and there are probably correct Perl handling possible. With a correct use of this, then any key among "Y", "y", "O" and "o" will be a correct "yes" answer and "N" and "n" will be correct "no" answers. Anyway, to quickly solve this, you certainly can add the following in the fr.po file for adduser: msgid "y" msgstr "o" msgid "n" msgstr "n" This fr.po file for adduser is under work now and you should soon have a new version anyway with these fixes among others. In the original bug report, the submitter could "answer" "yes" by hitting "j" because his locales set lists first a French locale (in which "y" is not "translated") then a German locale (where "y" is "translated" to "j"). -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
