Package: adduser
Version: 3.97
Severity: normal
Hi,
bee# LC_ALL=C deluser --quiet --system FOOBAR > /dev/null || true
bee#
bee# LC_ALL=C delgroup --quiet --system FOOBAR > /dev/null || true
/usr/sbin/delgroup: The group `FOOBAR'' does not exist.
It would be nice if both command would output the warning or no
warning.
Thanks,

I just checked the code and found out, that we have a lot of output which is always printed, independent of --quiet. Maybe a policy: When there''s --quiet given, no output to stderr? J?rg -- What did you do to the cat? It looks half-dead. -Schroedinger''s wife -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

According to deluser documentation, --quiet suppresses progress messages. In both cases, the warning should be displayed. And I think that we should streamline the docs so that identical options are documented identically and do the same thing. Any chance to have this ready for etch?

I have given it a quick once over, and it looks like it really needs a compreensive review, which should be several hours work. I just won''t have those hours until mid October or so, though. I''m not saying it''s horribly out of line, just that there are several code paths to trace, and several doc points to touch up.
