Package: adduser Version: 3.106 Severity: normal Hi, When I do deluser it claims I am about to delete the root account and I should press Ctrl-C but if I wait then it doesn't do it. asdf:x:1001:1001:,,,:/home/asdf:/bin/bash judith:~# deluser asdf Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at /usr/sbin/deluser line 228. WARNING: You are just about to delete the root account (uid 0) Usually this is never required as it may render the whole system unusable Press immediately Ctrl+C if you want to abort Ok, you really want it, I'll delete that account Removing user `asdf' ... Warning: group `asdf' has no more members. Done. judith:~# cat /etc/passwd root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh bin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/bin/sh sys:x:3:3:sys:/dev:/bin/sh sync:x:4:65534:sync:/bin:/bin/sync
This is also mentioned in bug 471552. Also, there really isn't much time to press Ctrl-C here, 5 or 10 seconds might be better.
