Package: adduser
Version: 3.106
Severity: important
File: /usr/sbin/deluser
Deluser gives an error and then thinks I want to remove the root user.
See the following transcript:
===
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~> sudo deluser --remove-all-files test
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
===
The referenced line 228 contains the following: "if ($uid == 0) {", so I
guess $uid does not get set; this might be because the "getpwnam($user)"
call on line 211 is only done if the "system" config parameter is set.
Cheers,
Bram Senders
