Package: passwd

Debian Testing

Hi,

A Debian update for Debian Testing has broken the "useradd" utility (in /sbin/useradd, I don't know which package it belongs to). The problem is that the /etc/skel folder is ignored no matter what settings are used, so the new user only gets the vanilla setup, & not the specially prepared one.

A previous version of this tool (3rd march, '22) worked fine, & if I replace the new file with the old one on Debian testing, it also works fine. I am using Calamares to install an adapted version of Debian Testing, & Calamares uses "useradd" to create user accounts during the installation (one reason is that options can be given to the tool, which the "adduser" tool doesn't support). So I need "useradd" to work properly.

Thanks for fixing this as soon as possible.
