Well, I guess you mised the part where the custom user 'staff' (by custom I mean created manually by me) does _not_ have the primary group 'staff' but a custom group 'partners' (ID=1000) thus these two are only related by the same name. My point is that 'userdel' must not try to delete a group that has the same name as the user being deleted _unless_ there is no other user belonging to this UPG. > Maybe Nicolas swill have another interpretation, we'll see..:-) I hope it's more clear for anyone now. Probably I didn't express myself too clear, english is not my primary language. Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
