severity 551929 serious thanks I ran into this too. Raising severity as IMO this bug makes the current version of adduser unsuitable to be released with Squeeze.
deluser should not be creating a backup tarball when not asked to do so. $ sudo deluser --remove-home thibaut Looking for files to backup/remove ... Backing up files to be removed to . ... backup_name = ./thibaut.tar/bin/tar: Removing leading `/' from member names Removing files ... Removing user `thibaut' ... Warning: group `thibaut' has no more members. Done. My config file is (comments removed): $ cat /etc/deluser.conf REMOVE_HOME = 0 REMOVE_ALL_FILES = 0 BACKUP = 0 BACKUP_TO = "." ONLY_IF_EMPTY = 0 EXCLUDE_FSTYPES = "(proc|sysfs|usbfs|devpts|tmpfs)" Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
