Package: adduser Version: 3.106 Severity: important i just run into #469165 -- and it took me longer to realise what the meaning of the message mentioned was than the timeout lasted. i got "Ok, you really want it, I'll delete that account Looking for files to backup/remove ..." at which point i hit ctrl+c and certainly hope no harm was done ...
so -- why would one be required to _cancel_ instead of _confirm_ such an operation as it is done everwhere else where essential information is in danger? bug #469165 only strengthens that point -- it would be far less dangerous if one has to confirm the deletion ... -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23.1 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_DK.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages adduser depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.19 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.1.0-2 change and administer password and ii perl-base 5.8.8-12 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis adduser recommends no packages. -- debconf information: adduser/homedir-permission: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
