Package: adduser Version: 3.113+nmu3 Severity: serious Hi,
I am really sorry having to file this. When a package uses adduser --system without explicitly specifying the home directory of the new user, its home directory gets set to /home/$USER. Debian QA thinks that this is a policy violation and supports this by bending FHS http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/fhs-2.3.html#HOMEUSERHOMEDIRECTORIES which says: "/home : User home directories (optional)" "/home is a fairly standard concept, but it is clearly a site-specific filesystem. The setup will differ from host to host. Therefore, no program should rely on this location." Thus, packages using adduser --system and relying on adduser doing the right thing will get a piuparts-based RC bug in no time. Adduser should change its default behavior to something that QA will accept. Greetings Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
