Package: adduser Version: 3.110 Severity: important This is related to bug #430640, but I couldn''t mail to 430640@bugs.debian.org. There it was reported and finally fixed for the case one does a backup, but just trying deluser --remove-home <user> still won''t delete pipes or sockets, and therefore also the whole home directory will not be deleted. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, ''stable'') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages adduser depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.1.1-6 change and administer password and ii perl-base 5.10.0-19 minimal Perl system adduser recommends no packages.

But I cannot confirm it for named pipes/fifos. But deluser still does not remove block or character devices then. I will add a warning if deluser encounters such a "file".
